The Vernon County Opioid Prevention and Steering Committee approved the creation of a part‑time Opioid Prevention Coordinator position on Oct. 9.

Hanan described a pay rate of $22.19 per hour and estimated the annual cost at about $25,000. Committee member Kristina Reser‑Jaynes requested a consolidated spreadsheet of projects to aid review. Mary Henry moved to approve the position and Steve Micheals seconded; the committee voted unanimously. Hanan said the motion will next go to the General Government Committee for formal approval.
