OakleyChair

Okay, so uh uh the item that you have before you is to adopt resolution twenty-one two fifty. Um that would in fact uh

It is a it is a resolution that makes the county part of the accepts the what is known as the Florida plan um for opioid um

For the proceeds of the opioid litigation, um as outside counsel explained to you in your shade meeting, uh the mem the Attorney General's office has circulated a memorandum of understanding of how Any proceeds from settlements of this litigation would be distributed among the counties and cities and the state in Florida. They have proposed a

memorandum of understanding, which is the first step into a formal settlement agreement with the state with regard to these funds. Outside Counsel recommends that you, in fact, show your approval for that memorandum of understanding, as does the county attorney. The resolution that we provided in your packages under 107 not

only does that, but it Um it starts to move you towards compliance to being a qualified county so that the money will be directly distributed to Pasco County. Section six of the original resolution that is in your agenda package has a uh establishes the Pasco County opioid. task force um based on some of the concerns that were expressed

earlier today um and to me privately.

with the composition and membership of the Opi One Task Force as we had delineated it in the resolution. Um I provided you all a revised resolution. That uh the composition membership of the opioid task force shall be established by a separate resolution. Um that is the only change to the resolution that is before you. Um the resolution also provides the

authority for the county administrator to negotiate the interlocal agreements necessary with the largest municipalities in Pasco County.

And I'd be happy to answer any questions.

OakleyChair

Okay. Any questions? Mr.

Mariano

Sander? Yes. Mr. Chairman Mariano. Um in it where we had talked about the allocations, how they had to be spent, and I don't see anything in here about as far as the ratio to previous expenditures that we had compared to others, and I guess thirty percent was what we could look to reimburse ourselves for our expenses before. Is that need to be in here or is it just

OakleyChair

That would have to be in the memorandum of understanding directly and I understand from outside council that it is

It is to be put in the memorandum of understanding if it's not in this most current draft.

Mariano

Okay.

OakleyChair

Um

Right then. That that is going to be controlled by not your resolution supporting the look it's supporting the memorandum of understanding. It'll be it'll it's gonna be in the memorandum of understanding itself.

Unidentified speakerVoice A

Okay.

OakleyChair

Um and then and if if you wish to adopt the reviv the resolution that I've revised that takes out the membership um after that motion I'll need some direction as to what the proposed membership is to look like. But it but I know Commissioner Starkey wanted to Weigh in on the membership of the ta task force as well. So it may be better just to bring that back to you at

your next meeting.

Mariano

Right. We can we can approve this the way it is.

Right.

OakleyChair

So what you've done is what this resolution does is it sets up the compound. Of you have one, you have not, and then we'll bring you back a at your next meeting another resolution that sets up its membership that you can you can discuss. But this is the the the resolution supporting the memorandum of understanding is what I need to get to the Attorney General's office.

By their by their established deadline.

Mariano

Okay. I'm good.

Fitzpatrick

I would like Mr Chairman Mariano to secure a position for ASAP to be a member of the for them to

Moore

that's gonna

OakleyChair

come back.

Fitzpatrick

Not under B to add it.

OakleyChair

Well okay. So I'm proposing that no nobody be appointed today, or that that mem that you all s that you all have a separate discussion about membership, because that seems to be the the critical factor that there's not true consensus on at this point. And I and so to get resolution 21250 adopted, my suggestion is that the revised one that we that I passed out on the dais here, which

says

In section B, the composition and membership of the opioid task force shall be established by separate resolution. Is what you adopt today. That makes

OakleyChair

sense.

Moore

We'll just bring that back. I don't think anybody would agree with you that ASAP should be on there because they do opoid. But we're not gonna do that today. We're gonna bring that back next time. Okay. Yeah. Cool. Move and move. Second. You can get his first. He was quicker. I'll do the second.

OakleyChair

I got two motions,

Moore

two seconds. I'm the second.

OakleyChair

All right, I got a motion and a second. All those in favor say aye. Aye. All opposed like sign. Motion to pass for Four zero?
