Brooke County meeting lists opioid fund requests totaling at least $1.76 million; items appear tabled
Summary
Officials listed opioid-related funding requests from local agencies totaling at least $1,755,948 during the May 5, 2026 meeting; the items were included under 'Tabled Items' in the record and no formal approvals were recorded.
During the Brooke County Commission’s May 5, 2026 session staff compiled a set of opioid fund requests from local agencies that together total at least $1,755,948. The requests were included under 'Tabled Items' in the meeting record; the transcript does not show the Commission voting to approve the requests.
The itemized requests listed in the record are: Brooke County Sheriff’s Department — $580,000; Brooke County Health Department — $159,784; WVU Medicine — $125,000; EMA/EMS Assistant Deputy Director Mike Loborec — $120,550+ (listed with a “+” in the transcript); Easter Seals — $20,000; Empower & Link Inc. — $374,015; EMA/EMS Director Greg Moore — $75,000; Youth Services System, Inc. — $185,000; and Brooke County Firefighters Association — $116,599. Because one request is recorded with a trailing plus sign ("$120,550+"), the transcript supports stating an aggregate of at least $1,755,948 rather than an exact, finalized total.
The meeting record places these requests under a group of tabled items; the transcript does not record a motion, vote, or formal approval for any of the opioid fund requests. The commission did not take an approving vote on these funding items in the segments provided; further action or scheduling for decision was not specified in the record.
Because the requests were presented as tabled, any disbursement would require a future vote or formal action by the Commission that is not reflected in the May 5 proceedings.
