Committee approves $1,723.57 rollover to Family Service Society for opioid-prevention materials
Summary
Community services asked the committee to let Family Service Society roll $1,723.57 from its 2025 contract into the next year to buy evidence-based opioid-prevention booklets for youth; committee members asked why rollover is recurring and staff said hiring delays often cause underspending.
A community services representative asked the Human Services, Health and Education Committee to approve rolling over $1,723.57 in unused 2025 opioid-prevention funds to a Family Service Society contract so the organization can purchase evidence-based booklets used in youth opioid-prevention education.
The community services speaker said, “They would use those, that funding for the booklets, the evidence based booklets they use with the opioid prevention education for the kids for the year.” Committee members pushed back, asking why funds repeatedly roll over rather than being spent in-year. Staff explained that hiring gaps and staffing patterns often delay program spending because funds tied to staff cannot be used while positions are vacant.
