Commissioners approve extension to remnant opioid settlement funding for Community Corrections
Summary
Daviess County approved an extension to continue receiving remnant opioid settlement funds for Community Corrections, with the funds to be held in a separate account for tracking and State Board of Accounts purposes; officials said the extension will not affect the county budget.
Laura Petty, executive director of Daviess County Community Corrections, requested and the commissioners approved April 28 an extension to receive remnant opioid settlement funding.
Petty told the board the additional funds would be deposited into a separate account to simplify tracking for staff and to conform to State Board of Accounts requirements. She said the extension would have no effect on the county general fund budget.
The motion to approve the extension was moved by TC Cook and seconded by Nathan Gabhart and passed unanimously.
The commissioners did not provide further details on the dollar amount in the meeting record. Petty and county auditor Jen Welsh were identified as the county staff who will track the funds.
