Huachuca City joins Cochise County opioid-settlement pool, council approves advisory-board IGA
Summary
Council approved Resolution 2026-01 to participate in an intergovernmental agreement pooling opioid-settlement funds with Cochise County; staff said the pooled county account holds about $3 million and Huachuca City's share is approximately $28,000.
The Huachuca City Council unanimously approved Resolution 2026-01 on March 12 to enter an intergovernmental agreement with Cochise County to pool opioid-settlement funds for countywide mitigation projects.
Town Manager Suzanne Harvey told the council the county has collected roughly $3,000,000 among participating jurisdictions and that Huachuca City's share that will flow through the pooled account is about $28,000. Harvey said the town previously voted to pool its limited settlement proceeds with the county because the town's standalone share would be small and the county can administer projects and staff the required compliance process. The IGA includes an advisory board on which the town may be represented so local priorities can be considered in countywide project selection.
Council approved the resolution and IGA language as presented. Harvey said she hopes the group will begin evaluating project proposals that could mitigate opioid-related harms across the county.
