Committee pauses contracting for drop-in center until opioid needs assessment is complete
Summary
The subcommittee amended its recommendation to defer contracting and associated expenditures for a proposed drop-in center until the comprehensive opioid needs assessment is finished, and the amended recommendation was adopted.
The Opioid Settlement Subcommittee voted to defer contracting and associated expenditures of opioid settlement funds that had been budgeted for a drop-in center until completion of the county's opioid needs assessment. Members amended the language to remove the word "previously" and to end the sentence after the assessment, signaling a pause to allow the assessment to inform next steps.
"Defer contracting and associated expenditures of the opioid settlement funds budgeted for a drop-in center until completion of the opioid needs assessment," the committee adopted as amended. A member abstained during the vote and that abstention was recorded.
The amendment is intended to ensure that any contracting for a drop-in center is informed by the needs-assessment findings and procurement best practices before commitments are made. The recommendation will be forwarded to Health and Human Needs.
