Commissioners approve $85,000 deposit for opioid mini-grants and authorize letter of intent for additional DMHA funds
Summary
The board approved moving about $85,000 into the county foundation to support nine opioid-settlement mini-grantees and authorized staff to finalize and send a conservative letter of intent for roughly $87,000 in additional DMHA opioid funds (one-to-one match).
The Orange County commissioners approved depositing approximately $85,000 into the county foundation to fund nine opioid-settlement mini-grants and directed staff to prepare a conservative letter of intent to seek additional DMHA opioid funds.
Commissioners said they would notify grant recipients and host a check presentation at the next meeting on July 9. Staff characterized the DMHA request as a one-to-one match and suggested a conservative ask of roughly $87,000; they cautioned the final application amounts could change during the formal grant process.
The board approved the funding transfer and the motion to proceed with the letter of intent by voice vote. Commissioners discussed leaving a small reserve in the foundation and asked staff to circulate the grant-amount spreadsheet and meet with foundation trustees before distribution.
