Commissioners review 2025 opioid fund allocations totaling about $141,877
Summary
DeKalb County commissioners reviewed a 2025 opioid fund allocation plan of about $141,876.83, indicating restricted and unrestricted amounts and named recipients including a prevention coalition and a spot program. The chair said the budget committee recommended a separate commission vote.
The chair presented the county's opioid fund request for money that will be collected in 2025, noting the county operates one year behind on opioid funding. He gave a total of $141,876.83 and broke it down: "Restricted was a little over 93,000 and unrestricted a little over 48," he said, then listed specific allocations including $54,261 to the prevention coalition (restricted), $45,000 for a spot program (unrestricted), $30,000 (restricted) and $12,615.83 to the DARE program (of which $9,500 is restricted).
The chair said the budget committee had approved the request and suggested the commission should take a formal separate vote on the allocation. Commissioners did not vote during the workshop; the item will be scheduled for formal action so the commission can record the expenditure plan.
