a. Resolution R2025-066—A Resolution Authorizing the DeKalb County Community Mental Health Board to Administer the DeKalb County’s Opioid Settlement Funds on Behalf of the County Board.
In 2022, more than 3,000 Illinoisans died of Opioid Overdoses. To hold companies responsible for their roles in the opioid crisis, the Illinois Attorney General has engaged in multiple investigations, lawsuits, and settlements with opioid manufacturers, distributors, and chain pharmacies. The funds from the settlements will support recovery in communities hardest hit by the opioid crisis and throughout the state.
DeKalb County has received close to $700,000 in funds related to the Opioid Settlements. Through the budget process, the DeKalb County Board has created a special revenue fund (Opioid Settlement Fund) from which the distribution of those funds can be administered. Throughout the State of Illinois, several mental health boards manage their respective area Opioid Settlement funds due. These boards have established grant programs that successfully distribute, manage, and evaluate the use of opioid settlement funds.
Resolution R2025-066 authorizes the DeKalb County Community Mental Health Board to administer DeKalb County’s Opioid Settlement Funds on behalf of the DeKalb County Board.
b. Resolution R2025-067—A Resolution Approving the Payment of County Claims for June 2025, and Off-Cycle Claims Paid During the Previous Month, Including All Claims for Travel, Meals, and Lodging.
