County approves grant application to support Weld County Regional Opioid Council

Weld County Board of County Commissioners / Housing Authority (joint proceedings) · August 24, 2026

Summary

Weld County approved submitting a 2027 grant application to continue funding a staff position and strengthen family programs coordinated by the Weld County Regional Opioid Council; final authorization will depend on the council's funding decision.

Jason Cheshire told commissioners the health department coordinates the Weld County Regional Opioid Council and recommended a grant application to continue funding an employee who supports the council and opioid prevention efforts. He said the application would also request additional funding to continue strengthening family programs, adding that if the opioid council approves the funding, the county will return for formal board approval of the allocation.

“Again, this is just a grant application. If the funding is approved by the opioid council, we will bring that back to the board for formal approval,” Cheshire said. Commissioners moved and seconded the motion to approve submitting the application and the motion carried.
