Summary

A county official reported that Crawford County’s opioid-settlement account holds $233,374.29 and outlined how the settlement revenues arrive and must be spent for treatment and prevention. "The current balance on that phone is $233,374.29," the official said, and described multi-year settlement receipts that may run 15 to 20 years for some awards.
Commissioners discussed prior spending (the official said only $573.64 had been spent in 2024) and the requirements that subrecipients submit receipts for reimbursement. After the presentation a commissioner moved to approve a $50,000 request from a mental health program for opioid outreach and naloxone acquisition; the motion was seconded and commissioners indicated approval. The county will require receipts and oversight and said reimbursements are included in the regular bill package and reported to the attorney general’s office.
