Dallas County approves opioid-settlement grants for dental clinic and one LIFEPAK monitor
Summary
The Board approved Resolution 2026-0092 to allocate $5,000 to the Iowa Dental Foundation for a free dental clinic and $80,000 toward LIFEPAK monitor/defibrillator equipment for Waukee Fire Department from a $444,485.33 opioid settlement fund balance.
The Dallas County Board of Supervisors approved Resolution 2026-0092 on July 28, 2026, accepting recommendations from the Opioid Settlement Oversight Committee to fund two projects from the county's opioid settlement account.
The resolution records that Dallas County currently has $444,485.33 in opioid settlement funds and lists two approved awards: $5,000 to the Iowa Dental Foundation to help support a free three-day dental clinic and $80,000 to the Waukee Fire Department to purchase LIFEPAK monitor/defibrillator equipment. The committee had reviewed applications and recommended the smaller clinic grant and partial funding for the fire department’s equipment purchase.
The board voted to amend and adopt the resolution; the transcript reflects all ayes among present members and notes Chair Julia Helm was absent. The resolution directs that the Oversight Committee supply quarterly reports to the board documenting how funds are spent.
