Committee approves $102,435.17 in opioid funds for CASA‑Trinity AIR program
Summary
The Steuben County Human Services, Health & Education Committee authorized rolling over $57,435.17 and appropriating an additional $45,000 in opioid funds to CASA‑Trinity for its AIR program in 2026; both measures passed 5‑0 and require formal resolutions.
The Steuben County Human Services, Health & Education Committee on Feb. 4 voted to direct county opioid funds to CASA‑Trinity's AIR program for 2026, approving a $57,435.17 roll‑over of unused 2025 funds and a separate $45,000 appropriation.
Lynn Gramley, a county staff member, asked the committee to authorize the roll‑over and the additional allocation. On the roll‑over, Frederick G. Potter, Vice Chair, moved and Debra Shannon seconded; the motion "AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE COMMISSIONER OF FINANCE TO ROLL‑OVER UNUSED 2025 OPIOID FUNDS IN THE AMOUNT OF $57,435.17 TO CASA‑TRINITY TO BE USED IN 2026 FOR THE AIR PROGRAM" carried 5‑0. On the additional allocation, the committee approved the motion to "AUTHORIZE THE APPROPRIATION OF AN ADDITIONAL $45,000 IN OPIOID FUNDS TO CASA‑TRINITY FOR 2026 TO SUPPORT THE OPERATION OF THE AIR PROGRAM" by the same vote.
Committee members present for the unanimous votes were Joseph Tobia (Chair), Frederick G. Potter (Vice Chair), Justin Eberlin, Nicholas D. Pelham and Debra Shannon. The meeting minutes record both approvals and note that formal resolutions are required to implement the changes.
Why it matters: CASA‑Trinity's AIR program is funded from opioid settlement dollars; the committee's actions commit $102,435.17 of county opioid‑designated funds to that provider in 2026 and will be reflected in forthcoming resolutions and finance department entries.
