- Opioid Board · Meeting · Jul 14, 2026 · 4:00 PM The Opioid Board approved its financial report, showing a remaining balance of $58,054.85 after allocating $165,000 for school behavioral health, while noting expected reimbursements of about $30,000 from the school and roughly $13,000 to $15,000 from United Way. Members also confirmed that $22,000 had already been disbursed to Prevention Now and that the school behavioral-health funding had moved on to the budget committee and was expected next before the accounting commission. The board discussed an outstanding Educare balance of about $2,000 and indicated it should keep monitoring the matter, though some members questioned whether legal action would be practical over that amount. Its main action was to defer United Way’s new funding application until the next meeting after members raised concerns about outdated 2025 dates, stale contact information, and the fact that the listed project lead was no longer available; the motion passed without opposition. In that discussion, members said they were not opposed to the prevention program itself and suggested United Way submit a fully updated application that could also revisit the requested amount. The board also voted to move its next meeting to August 25 at 4:00 p.m.
- Opioid Board · Meeting · Jan 6, 2026 The Opioid Board quickly approved routine items, heard a public complaint questioning a prior $17,000 website and consulting payment, and received a financial report showing a balance of $204,277.83, including discussion of $685.06 returned from VFW. The board also appointed Mr. Deck to fill a vacancy. Members discussed whether they need a navigator or other oversight support before future grant work proceeds, but took no action, and they deferred 2026 grant applications until February because only two applications had been received. The meeting’s longest and most contentious discussion involved Bernard Community Center, where about $27,299.25 in opioid-grant spending was disallowed over whether ADA-accessible bathroom renovations were actually part of the final approved scope and contract. Bernard argued there had been a communication breakdown and pushed for an in-kind solution using facility access rather than repayment, while county legal officials warned the state could still hold the county liable if the expenditure is not properly resolved. By the end of the meeting, the board appeared to keep discussing an in-kind framework instead of ordering immediate repayment, but no clear final vote or resolution was captured.
