The Carroll County opioid-settlement committee recommended, and the board approved, a $42,150 purchase (plus shipping and handling) of Lucas chest-compression systems for ambulances and outlying first-responder rigs.
A committee representative said the systems will be placed first in the county’s two main rigs and then redistributed so all seven county locations will have access over time. Committee members said they are segregating settlement dollars into prevention (Schedule A) and response/equipment buckets (Schedule B) and intend to preserve funds for future applications from local agencies.
The committee reported an available opioid-settlement balance of about $126,000. The board approved the funding motion without recorded roll-call tallies in the transcript.
What happens next: The ambulance service will order the Lucas units and return for additional funding requests when the opioid-settlement account receives more deposits.
