Court approves opioid settlement and appoints negotiators for revenue‑sharing talks with city
Summary
After executive session, the court approved a proposed settlement with six remaining defendants in local opioid litigation and named commissioners and staff to negotiate a revenue‑sharing agreement with the city.
Following a closed executive session on revenue sharing, economic development and opioid litigation, the court returned to open session and approved a proposed settlement agreement with six remaining defendants in the county's opioid litigation; the motion passed 4–0.
Commissioners also discussed designating representatives to meet with the city to continue revenue‑sharing negotiations. Commissioner (name not specified) nominated himself along with Brandon from the auditor's office and either Scott Brumley or Jackson Lazier from the county attorney's office; the court seconded and approved those designations.
Why it matters: The opioid settlement resolves remaining defendant exposure in local litigation; appointing representatives for revenue‑sharing negotiations establishes the county's negotiation team for upcoming talks with the city.
