County administrator updates board on opioid-abatement options, and reads statement on administrator search
Summary
The county administrator updated the board on opioid-abatement funding options and said staff were evaluating recovery-housing and regional proposals; the administrator also read a statement notifying the public about ongoing candidate interviews per Virginia code.
The county administrator reported on several administrative items, including a December waste-management receipts update ($210,085) and an overview of opioid-abatement funds. He said Amelia County is expected to receive approximately $225,415 over the multi-year abatement period and that about $100,000 may be available by application; staff are evaluating proposals that address abatement requirements, such as recovery housing and regional program participation.
The administrator also read a statement for the record regarding the county administrator recruitment: the board has completed an initial round of interviews, selected additional candidates for interviews, and may interview candidates at disclosed or undisclosed locations within the next 15 days in keeping with Virginia Code §2.2-3712(b). The administrator characterized the item as informational and said staff would return with options for opioid-fund allocation within roughly 90 days.
