Brooke County records opioid fund requests totaling roughly $1.76 million; requests filed, not approved
Summary
At the May 14, 2026 session the Commission’s correspondence included multiple requests for opioid fund awards—totaling about $1.76 million across law enforcement, health, treatment and emergency services—but the minutes show the requests were filed for the record rather than approved during the meeting.
The Brooke County Commission’s meeting record on May 14, 2026, lists multiple requests for opioid fund awards submitted for consideration, totaling approximately $1.76 million in requested funds. The minutes present the requests as correspondence and order them filed in the County Clerk’s Office; they do not record any motion to approve or deny these requests during the session.
The correspondence lists the following opioid fund requests and requested amounts: the Sheriff’s Department ($580,000); Brooke County Health Department ($159,784); WVU Medicine ($125,000); EMA/EMS Assistant Deputy Director Mike Loborec (listed as $120,550+); Empower & Link Inc. ($374,015); EMA/EMS Director Greg Moore ($75,000); Youth Services System, Inc. ($185,000); Brooke County Firefighters Associations ($116,599); and Easter Seals ($20,000). The minutes do not indicate any action taken on these requests at the May 14 meeting.
The record also included other correspondence and administrative items (appointment requests, property matters and staffing openings). Canvas of ballots for an upcoming election was noted to begin on May 18, 2026, in the Old Commission Room at 9:30 a.m.
Because the minute entry treats the opioid items as correspondence ordered filed, any decision on awarding funds would require a subsequent agenda action or separate administrative step; the minutes do not identify a timetable or next steps for decisions on the listed requests.
