<br /> Commissioner Carter asked about a coordinator position that was removed from the
<br /> budget. She asked if the $160,623 unallocated funds could be used for that position.
<br /> Travis Myren said they would not need the full amount for the position.
<br /> Chair Bedford asked how it happened that there are unallocated funds.
<br /> Kirk Vaughn said the schedule for the opioid settlement fund was frontloaded. He said
<br /> they are spending the balance down over the years and this delays the programs from needing a
<br /> county subsidy.
<br /> Chair Bedford asked if Commissioner Carter's suggestion means that they would have to
<br /> add county funding a little earlier.
<br /> Kirk Vaughn said that coordinator contract was about$90,000, so if that is per year, it may
<br /> be 2030 or 2031 that they are at the break-even point.
<br /> Commissioner Fowler asked if there is a training plan for providing services after the opioid
<br /> funding runs out and encouraged training for staff.
<br /> Travis Myren said yes.
<br /> Commissioner Greene said that is a good idea and this is over eighteen years rather than
<br /> ten.
