Commissioner asks how many opioid settlements Alger County is part of; consent agenda approved
Summary
During approval of the consent agenda a commissioner asked how many opioid settlements the county is participating in and what the total amount is; the chair said several settlements are pending and the consent agenda was approved with no recorded opposition.
A commissioner asked during the consent-agenda portion of the April 20 meeting how many opioid settlements the county had joined and what the total settlement amount would be.
"What is the total amount of opioid settlement we have?" the committee member asked during discussion of the consent agenda. The Chair replied that there were additional settlements pending litigation and that the county had participated in five prior settlements. The transcript records the exchange but does not include a specific dollar total for the county's share.
The board then moved to accept the consent agenda; the motion was seconded and approved without opposition. The consent agenda item referencing opioid settlements was discussed but no funding amount was finalized during this meeting.
Next steps: The county will need to provide or obtain documentation of any final settlement amounts and formally accept participation in any settlement that proceeds; the transcript does not record those steps or figures.
