PUBLIC COMMENTS Resident,veteran and taxpayer Evan Taylor expressed concern regarding opioid settlement funding after learning the statewide oversight body had rejected eight county grant applications and flagged nine others for further review due to non-compliance.

He also raised concerns about transparency and safeguards in the grant allocation process and urged the county to pause, restore transparency and ensure experienced experts remain involved in the decision-making process. COMMISSIONERS' RESPONSE Mr. Sherman thanked Mr. Taylor for his comments and requested he leave his contact information with Mr. Sherman's Admin, Heather Wilhelm, so additional information could be provided.
