There were two bidders on this property fowler and Johny Grant. There is 911 address. Vote as follows: Stephens - Aye, Warner - Aye. Whitehouse - Aye.
Item #8: DISCUSSION ONLY/NO ACTION on presentation by Family and Children's Services regarding the Opioid Abatement Settlement. Terry Simonson, Special Counsel Attorney General spoke to the Board. I have been asked by the Attorney General to join this process on the Opioid Abatement Grant and help make sure that the laws are followed by all political subdivisions that receive the grant. The political subdivisions that are able to apply for the grant are cities, towns, schools and counties. There was discussion of the past opioid abatement settlement and what is now available. Currently there is $55 billion to $58 billion that has come from a settlement of fourteen companies, which has been approved to be paid under a structured payout over the next eighteen years. Simonson spoke about the formula that has given $500-$700 million to the State of Oklahoma. Since this settlement the legislatures have taken on the issue and have passed three additional laws that have some monies being kept with the state legislatures roughly $35-$37 million in addition. Drummond has now revisited the opioid settlement monies and now would like to see the monies being distributed to the political subdivision to put to good use. He has since created a nine-member Board that each political subdivision can apply to each year, they will review the application and approve the amounts of monies to be distributed to those entities over the next eighteen years. Now, you can submit separately or team up and make one really good application. Currently there are nine cities, towns and schools in which have sent in application. We are hoping to have all applications in by March 29th, then reviewed in April and May with recommendations on who will receive monies. Once, approved there will be an agreement required by the county, entities and State of Oklahoma. Once agreements are back then money will be released to entity. There are allowed uses per statue and they are very clear. Simonson stated we ask that you ask for what you need and that you can prove how the monies will be utilized. Stephens asked if anyone has reached out to the local entities that provide these services as well. Warner asked Family Child Services Representative to come up and speak to the Board and they will assist the county with the grant writing application process for free. Nichols McMillan and Mimi Tarrasch, Family and Children's Services spoke about the programs in which they offer Women Recovery Program, Parenting in Jail classes, Jail Education, as well as others to help reduce the likeliness of a second offense. We would like to be apart of the grant request with Creek County and offer our assistance in the application process. This would then result in a partner-ship agreement if funds were given to the county. Stephens stated he would like to make sure that everyone has a chance to be apart of the request, including some of our local entities that offer similar services. There was discussion that the county would have to re-apply each year for the grant funds and the county would be the one monitoring the grant and making sure that the funds are spent according to the law. Stephens encouraged Family Services to reach out to our local entities and we will further discuss this next week. Warner touched base on some of the services offered that he has seen and heard through the program and Workforce Board. The Board agreed this is important and needs to be addressed, but I think we need to pass for one week to make sure all can be involved in the process.

Stephens stated this is like the one that Dana Huggins that furnished AC units for the complex and Fairground thirteen to fourteen years ago. Jana Thomas, Purchasing Agent stated this is a formula grant and the county is allocated $77,390.00. This will be a reimbursement grant, so the funds will go back into the fund, in which paid for the units. Thomas stated the jail has had four units that has been repaired and in need of replacement.
