Board follows committee recommendation to deny an out-of-state for-profit opioid training request
Summary
The board moved to deny a request for opioid-settlement funds from a for-profit out-of-state vendor (National University training solutions) and followed the committee recommendation to deny the request. The county noted only a small remaining set of defendants remain in opioid settlement suits and the county does not yet know any award amounts.
Clerk said only a small number of defendants remain in the opioid settlement suits and Alger County cannot yet estimate any payment amounts. When a spending request from a for-profit, out-of-state training vendor was presented, a board member moved "to follow the recommendation from the other committee and deny the training solutions from National University." The motion was seconded and recorded as following the committee recommendation.
Members noted there are prior settlement funds available from earlier settlements but said the specific amounts the county might receive from remaining defendants is unknown. The board direction was to deny the funding request from the for-profit vendor; the transcript does not record a detailed vote tally beyond the motion and second.
