1 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br /> Meeting Date: June 4, 2024 <br /> Action Agenda <br /> Item No. 8-g <br /> SUBJECT: Opioid Spending Authorization Resolutions <br /> DEPARTMENT: County Commissioners <br /> ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: <br /> REVISED & ORIGINAL Spending Quintana Stewart, Orange County <br /> Authorization Resolution — RES- Health Director, 919-245-2412 <br /> 2023-029 <br /> REVISED & ORIGINAL Spending <br /> Authorization Resolution — RES- <br /> 2023-077 <br /> PURPOSE: To approve revised Opioid Settlement Spending Authorization Resolutions that <br /> reflect corrections required by the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners (NCACC) <br /> Opioid Settlement Technical Assistance Team (OSTAT). <br /> BACKGROUND: Health Department staff met with OSTAT on Friday, April 19, 2024. During the <br /> meeting OSTAT provided feedback on the County's submitted spending authorization resolutions <br /> previously approved by the Board of Commissioners. Staff received two (2) corrective actions <br /> needed to process two (2) of the three (3) submitted spending authorization resolutions. <br /> For the original spending authorization resolution approved by the Board on April 18, 2023, the <br /> funding allocations require a change to one (1) year rather than multi years. This is the preference <br /> of OSTAT, and requires changes to three (3)funding allocations (Lantern Project, Freedom House <br /> and FIT). <br /> For the original spending authorization resolution approved by the Board on December 12, 2023, <br /> a revised resolution is needed to identify only one (1) mitigation strategy per project allocation <br /> amount, rather than multiple strategies. This requires changes to allocation documentation for <br /> Reintegration Support Network (RSN) and Transition Recovery & Support Collaborative. Both <br /> projects previously listed multiple strategies on the December 12' resolution. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with approval of the revised <br /> resolutions. <br /> SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Orange County Social Justice Goals are applicable <br /> to this item: <br /> • GOAL: CREATE A SAFE COMMUNITY <br />
