Committee approves $1,723.57 rollover of unused opioid funds to Family Service Society
Summary
Steuben County Human Services Committee authorized rolling over $1,723.57 in unused 2025 opioid funds to Family Service Society for 2026 after staff said staffing shortages prevented full use of the money last year.
The Steuben County Human Services, Health & Education Committee on March 4 authorized rolling over $1,723.57 in unused 2025 opioid funds to Family Service Society for use in 2026.
During the discussion, committee member Nicholas D. Pelham questioned why the money had not been spent during the budget year and whether the county should reduce future allocations if funds go unused. Pelham asked, "why were these funds not spent during the budget year? Will we reduce the allocation for the following year?" Staff member Lynn Gramley responded that the department "are not asking for additional funds" and said the main reason the funds were not fully utilized last year was staffing shortages. The motion to approve the rollover was made by Mr. Pelham, seconded by Justin Eberlin, and passed 4-0. Resolution required.
