Agenda Item Description or Legislation Title
A Resolution Approving Participation In Region 8 Governance Structure Under The OneOhio Memorandum Of Understanding. (first reading)
Purpose and Background
In association with the State of Ohio's settlement of opioid-related litigation, funds will be made available throughout the state for distribution to qualifying organizations; Huber Heights being a qualifying organization. To provide for the accurate and orderly distribution of funds, the state has been divided into various regions with each region being responsible for determining the manner and method of funding distribution. Montgomery County is its own region, Region 8, and the legislation being proposed would establish the structure of how Region 8 would be governed. This legislation is related to Resolution No. 2021-R-7033 adopted by City Council on September 14, 2021, as well as the resolution establishing the City's OneOhio Fund which was introduced to City Council during the April 19, 2022 Council Work Session and adopted at the April 25, 2022 City Council Meeting.
