Jackson County JRAC proposes formal grant process for opioid settlement funds; commissioners take no action
Summary
Representatives of the Jackson County JRAC presented a proposed annual application and three-tier recommendation process for distributing opioid settlement funds; commissioners discussed the plan and did not vote on funding at the meeting.
Megan Cherry and Steven Sharer of the Jackson County JRAC outlined a proposed process for administering opioid settlement funds during the commissioners’ May 6 meeting. The plan would establish an annual application cycle, standardized scoring criteria, a three-tier recommendation structure and leave final project approval to the Commissioners while routing funding decisions through County Council.
Commissioners discussed the proposal and funding appropriations but took no formal action. The presentation was framed as a proposed vetting and grant process intended to create consistency and transparency for future opioid-related grant awards.
