Council OKs short-term opioid-settlement funding for Safe and Healthy Homewood; attorney asks to include proposal in minutes
Summary
Council approved using opioid-settlement funds to support Safe and Healthy Homewood through Sept. 30, 2026; the city's opioid attorney asked that the funding proposal be included in the meeting minutes.
The council approved a resolution to fund Safe and Healthy Homewood from July 1 through Sept. 30, 2026, using the city's opioid-settlement funds. City staff said the funding will support substance-misuse prevention, education and outreach consistent with approved uses of the settlement funds.
Homewood's opioid attorney, Mister Jackson, asked that the proposal submitted for the funding be included in the meeting minutes and noted that the budgeted expenditures did not expressly address opioid-remediation services in the same terms as the proposal. Council amended the motion to include the proposal in the minutes and approved the resolution unanimously; the measure was recorded as resolution 2676.
