Steering committee adopts past minutes, schedules Sept. 11 meeting and readies resolutions for commissioners

The Genesee County opioid settlement steering committee took procedural steps before substantive funding decisions.

The committee voted by voice to adopt the May 8, 2026 minutes after a motion to adopt was moved and seconded. The same process carried the June 18, 2026 minutes. The chair called for voices in favor and the motions were carried.

Marlene Colic told the committee she will bring draft resolutions and supporting documents to the county finance committee on Sept. 16 and then to the board of commissioners; items include a $2,200 allocation for International Overdose Awareness Day expenses, continued staffing for grant coordination ($15,000 request), and an Overwatch wristband monitoring arrangement already in use in the jail. Colic said the sheriff's office currently has people wearing the wristbands and that data-maintenance obligations will begin with the next contract term.

Before adjourning, the committee agreed to reconvene as a smaller working group to finalize RFP edits and set their next full meeting for Sept. 11 at 3:30 PM in the commission auditorium. The chair adjourned the meeting at 05:02 PM.
