Log Cabin council votes to join new Kroger opioid settlement
Summary
The Log Cabin City Council unanimously voted to opt into a new Kroger opioid settlement after City Secretary Leara Thorp summarized prior settlements and allowed uses for funds; councilmembers approved the resolution by motion.
The Log Cabin City Council voted Dec. 19 to join a new Kroger opioid settlement that will allow the city to receive settlement funds for eligible opioid‑related abatement and public‑health uses.
Mayor Jennifer Williams explained the city could opt into the new Kroger settlement, and City Secretary Leara Thorp outlined how earlier opioid settlements the city participates in have been used and the allowable uses of funds. "This is a new opioid settlement that the City can opt to join," Mayor Williams said during the discussion. Councilmember Larry Sutherland moved to join the Kroger Opioid Settlement; Bill Sims seconded. All present voted in favor and the motion passed.
The council did not specify a detailed disbursement plan at the meeting; Thorp's remarks indicated the funds would follow the same local‑government eligible uses as prior opioid settlements and would be handled as part of city finance procedures and future budgeting.
