Commission routes $10,000 in opioid funds to United Way for distribution
Summary
The commission approved a resolution allocating $10,000 in opioid-settlement or opioid-fund money to United Way for disbursement and recordkeeping; commissioners said United Way will keep a paper trail and about $40,000 may remain in the account for future distribution.
Commissioner Bobby Katz presented a resolution (061526056) to allocate $10,000 of opioid-related funds to the United Way for distribution and enhanced recordkeeping. Katz said the mayor prefers United Way manage the disbursement because they maintain records and will distribute to the same recipients the county had supported in prior uses.
The commission discussed that the allocation is discretionary to the mayor's office; Katz said there remains roughly $40,000 in the account for future use. The resolution passed by the recorded vote the chair provided (19–4–0). The meeting did not include details on the criteria United Way will use to allocate the funds; the chair and presenter indicated standard recipient patterns would continue.
