Pendleton approves appropriation of opioid settlement funds for heart monitors
Summary
At a special Pendleton meeting on July 21, councilors approved Resolution 2607 to reappropriate a little more than $22,000 in opioid-settlement funds into an equipment line to buy heart monitors for the fire department and EMS; the motion passed after a recorded aye vote and no public speakers on the item.
Pendleton's special meeting on July 21 approved Resolution 2607 to reappropriate remaining opioid settlement funds into an equipment line so the town can spend them on devices. A staff presenter said the town had received "a little bit over $22,000" from the Opioid Settlement Act and that the funds would be used for HEART monitors for the fire department and EMS personnel; staff worked with Dawn Speedy and the Port Treasurer's office to draft the appropriation and meet public-notification requirements.
The chair closed the public hearing, asked for a motion to pass Resolution 2607, and the council recorded affirmative votes and declared the resolution passed; the record does not specify who made the motion or who seconded it. No members of the public who were present or online spoke on the appropriation before the vote. The meeting record indicates the resident who raised other matters would provide a written statement for the record and seek answers at a later meeting.
