Paoli council authorizes clerk to sign Kroger opioid settlement, allocates $25,865 to Safe Haven
Summary
Town council authorized Clerk-Treasurer Beth A. Jones to sign documents for the Kroger opioid settlement and voted to direct restricted settlement funds of $25,865.21 to Safe Haven while retaining $7,230 in unrestricted funds.
Town Attorney Lyn Tucker Fullen asked the Paoli Town Council on July 2 to authorize Clerk-Treasurer Beth A. Jones to sign documents related to the Kroger opioid settlement for which the town qualifies.
The council approved the authorization on a unanimous 5-0 vote. Later in the meeting, Jones presented a proposed allocation: direct the restricted settlement amount of $25,865.21 to Safe Haven and hold $7,230 in unrestricted funds for town use. The council approved that allocation 5-0.
The minutes record the authorization and allocation but do not specify programmatic uses for the restricted settlement funds beyond the recipient organization, Safe Haven, nor do they list how or when any unrestricted funds would be expended.
