Kalkaska County approves participation in national opioid settlements and authorizes signatures
Summary
The board voted unanimously (6–0, 1 absent) to participate in the national opioid settlements and authorized the chair to sign settlement participation documents and implementation‑administrator agreements with listed manufacturers and service providers.
The Kalkaska County Board of Commissioners approved participation in the national opioid settlements and authorized the Chair to sign settlement documentation. The minutes record a motion by Commissioner Sieting to approve the participation agreement for the National Opioid Settlement; later motions listed participating manufacturers and the implementation administrator. "Motion by Sieting to approve the Participation Agreement for the National Opioid Settlement with Purdue and Sackler Family and allow the Chair to sign," the minutes state.
A subsequent motion recorded under new business enumerated additional settlement parties and an implementation administrator: "Motion by Comai to approve the Opioids Settlements: Alvogen, Amreal, Kikma, Indivior, Mylan, Sun, Zydus Opioids Implementation Administrator." Both motions were recorded as passing by roll call vote 6 yeas, 0 nays, 1 absent. The minutes do not specify expected settlement proceeds, distribution timelines, or an implementation plan; the board authorized signature authority so county staff can complete required enrollment and paperwork.
