Opioid-settlement steering-committee ordinance deferred two meetings
Summary
On second reading, the ordinance to define the opioid settlement steering committee was deferred for two meetings so sponsors can work on a substitute with the health department and mayor's office.
An ordinance to establish the opioid-settlement steering committee (BL2026-1452) was taken up on second reading, but sponsors requested more time. Council member Evans said she would work on a substitute with Metro Health and the mayor's office and moved a two-meeting deferral; the committee approved the deferral.
Evans said the substitute work is meant to refine the committee's role in guiding strategic use of opioid-settlement funds through a transparent, data-driven process. Several council members signaled support for further cross-agency coordination before the ordinance returns to the committee.
