Auditor Diana Topping presented items vetted by the Opioid Oversight Committee, which included funding requests for software for the prosecutor's office, equipment for the Special Investigations Unit and equipment for NAPD to support community deployment in response to drug activity. Topping praised the committee's prudent use of settlement funds and said the items would require an additional appropriation from the County Council.
Commissioner Jason Sharp said he had "really good conversations" with the prosecutor's office and commended how Floyd County has managed opioid settlement money.
