Health officer outlines proposal to use remaining opioid-settlement funds to support regional treatment programs
Summary
Health officer Anne-Marie Coy proposed using leftover opioid-settlement funds to assist Human Services and Criminal Justice with treatment programs that align with settlement programming, suggesting funding for up to three years.
Anne-Marie Coy, Bayfield County director of public health, discussed options for using remaining opioid-settlement funds during the April 14 Board of Health meeting. Coy said the department is considering directing leftover settlement funds to departments such as Human Services and Criminal Justice to support treatment programs that align with the settlement's goals. She proposed funding those programs for the next three years.
The board discussed the concept but did not record a final vote or specific allocations during the meeting. Coy framed the plan as a proposal to coordinate county-level programming with settlement objectives; next steps would involve program-level planning and budgeting, and likely require County Board approval for any reallocation of settlement funds.
