Council declines to proceed with national opioid settlement application

City Council of Covington, TX · September 16, 2025

Summary

Council voted 4–0 not to proceed with a New National Opioids Settlement application, meaning the city will not seek funds from that national settlement process.

Councilmember Eric Faught moved that the city not proceed with a New National Opioids Settlement application; Councilmember April Bradshaw seconded and the motion carried 4–0. The minutes record the decision to decline application but provide no rationale or reference to counsel opinion in the public record.

The minutes do not indicate whether declining the application affects any prior claims or whether city staff had prepared an application draft. For answers about rationale or potential future reconsideration, requesters should consult city staff or legal counsel; the minutes only record the final vote to not proceed.
