Opioid-settlement fund committee finalizing application, seeks commission direction

Hancock County Commission · August 18, 2026

Summary

The county's opioid-settlement fund committee has drafted an application and scoring rubric and asked whether commissioners want to pre-approve the application or let the committee release it and return with funding recommendations for final approval.

The county administrator reported that the opioid-settlement fund committee has completed a draft application and a scoring rubric and is preparing to release the application to prospective applicants.

"We basically have a draft and we're putting the final touches on the actual application that's going to go out to people that want to apply for those funds," the administrator said. The committee has also developed scoring criteria and asked whether commissioners want to review and approve the application before it is released or allow the committee to proceed and bring recommendations back for the board to approve awards.

Commissioners generally indicated they would allow the committee to continue its work and expected the committee to return with a report on applications received, scoring results and funding recommendations; final awards will remain the commission's decision.
