Board authorizes Sublocade purchases for qualified inmates using opioid settlement funds
Summary
The board approved two motions: payment of $15,527.20 for 10 Sublocade injections and authorization to purchase up to 50 additional injections (cost up to $77,636.00) for qualified inmates, to be paid from opioid settlement funds at no additional cost to the general fund.
The Lapeer County Board of Commissioners approved two motions July 23 to supply Sublocade injections for qualified inmates using opioid settlement funds. The first motion authorized payment of $15,527.20 to AmerisourceBergen for 10 injections; a second motion authorized the Sheriff's Office to purchase up to 50 additional injections from Besse Medical at a cost not to exceed $77,636.00, to be paid from opioid settlement funds.
"Motion by Kempf, supported by Zender, to authorize the Sheriff's Office to pay AmerisourceBergen in the amount of $15,527.20, for 10 shots of Sublocade, to be paid from Opioid Settlement Funds," the minutes record (186-2026). The subsequent motion (187-2026) authorized up to 50 additional injections "for qualified inmates (as needed--not all at once)." Both motions were recorded as carried and specified as at no additional cost to the County General Fund.
Commissioner C. Ian Kempf moved both motions and Commissioner Bryan Zender seconded them. The minutes do not record a roll-call vote for these motions; they are documented as carried in the official record.
