Board authorizes participation agreement for $97.6M opioid settlement
Summary
Clinton County’s Board approved a resolution authorizing participation in a remnant-defendant opioid settlement that allocates $97,625,000 in combined cash for abatement; the board’s action formalizes entry into a participation agreement recommended by county counsel.
The Clinton County Board of Commissioners voted March 31 to authorize the county’s entry into a participation agreement for a remnant-defendant settlement in the county’s opioid litigation. County materials state six regional distributors and dispenser defendants will pay a combined $97,625,000 in cash for abatement purposes; the board’s action formalizes participation after legal counsel recommendation.
The Ways and Means Committee recommended approval and the full board concurred by motion. County administration explained the settlement produces a one-time, relatively small payment to each eligible entity and recommended formal board authorization because previous settlement authority had been exercised by the Administrator/Controller for different defendants. No amendment or dollar reallocation language was included in the minutes; the participation agreement execution was authorized as presented.
