Commissioners expand Veterans Service Council and approve two opioid-litigation resolutions
Summary
The Board voted to expand the Veterans Service Council from three to five members and approved two resolutions authorizing participation in national opioid litigation (Sackler Family/Purdue and small manufacturer defendants). All measures passed by roll call vote at the Aug. 14 meeting.
The Board approved a motion to expand the Veterans Service Council from three members to five (motion by Commissioner Frederick, second by Commissioner Lewis). The roll-call vote was unanimous and the Board recorded the expansion as approved.
On the same agenda the Board approved two resolutions related to national prescription-opiate litigation. Commissioners voted to authorize the Sackler Family/Purdue resolution (motion by Commissioner Lewis, second by Commissioner Goscicki) and a separate resolution for small manufacturer defendants (motion by Commissioner Kraycs, second by Commissioner Frederick). Both resolutions were approved by roll call with unanimous ayes.
The meeting minutes do not detail settlement or distribution mechanics for opioid litigation proceeds; the recorded actions authorize county participation in the named litigation resolutions as presented to the Board.
