Jackson County approves $86,000 opioid‑settlement award to 180 Recovery Community Organization
Summary
The commissioners endorsed the JRAC grant committee's recommendation to award $86,000 in opioid settlement funds to 180 Recovery Community Organization for peer recovery services; the board also approved processing a Community Corrections Sam's Club card through utility claims to avoid late fees.
J.L. Brewer, representing the Jackson County Justice Reinvestment Advisory Council (JRAC), said the JRAC grant committee and full board recommended awarding $86,000 in opioid‑settlement funds to 180 Recovery Community Organization to support peer recovery services in Jackson County. The commissioners voted to support the JRAC recommendation; the motion was made by Commissioner Drew Storey, seconded by Commissioner Andrew Stauffer, and carried 2‑0.
Brewer also requested an accounting change for Community Corrections: that the department’s Sam's Club credit account be processed through the county utility claims cycle to avoid late‑payment issues tied to the card’s billing schedule. The board approved that payment method by the same 2‑0 vote. The award and payment‑processing approvals were presented as administrative actions in support of public‑safety and recovery services in the county.
