<br /> At the beginning of the fiscal year, the Opioid Settlement team, in consultation with Budget and
<br /> Finance staff, reviewed the amount of available funds in each approved project along with the
<br /> status of each projects spending authorization. Upon review, it was determined that multiple
<br /> projects needed spending authorization dates extended to account for past spending and allow
<br /> for the use of unspent funds from prior years. The attached spending authorization resolution
<br /> extends the authorization date for each project until the end of FY 2025-2026, allowing each
<br /> project to use all previously allocated funding until the end of the fiscal year.
<br /> Additionally, it was determined that the Lantern Project and Harm Reduction Coordinator project
<br /> needed additional funds to cover personnel costs in FY 2025-2026. The amendment below
<br /> allocates unspent funds from the NC FIT project to account for those additional costs. It also
<br /> reallocates the difference in costs for the revised Freedom House contract that was approved by
<br /> the Board at the October 21, 2025 Business meeting, with the remainder falling to the unallocated
<br /> project.
<br /> The formal required resolution providing final opioid settlement fund spending authorization for
<br /> FY 2026 is attached for Board approval.
