Moraine approves resolution to participate in national opioid settlements

Moraine City Council on Sept. 11 adopted a resolution authorizing the city to participate in national opioid settlements and authorized the city manager to execute settlement participation forms and related documentation.

The resolution, read into the record during the meeting, listed a set of manufacturers and distributors in the text presented to council and authorized the city manager to sign participation documents on behalf of Moraine. A motion to approve the resolution passed by roll call with affirmative votes from council members present.

The meeting record reflected the resolution language presented to the council; no settlement amounts or a distribution schedule were specified during the meeting. The resolution text read at the time included the names (as presented) of manufacturers and distributors the city’s participation covered.

The council did not debate the legal merits, allocation methodology, or projected settlement proceeds at the Sept. 11 meeting; those details would depend on the settlement administrators and subsequent distribution procedures.
