As local governments work on 2023 budgets, do we have an idea yet how much of our allocations will be distributed this year and next?

do the allocations carry over from year to year or do they need to be spent within each year

Naomi they can be carried over, so long as they are kept in segregated fund and eventually spent on remediation

Penny Messer, Isanti County

Resources and links to the AG Website will be included in the chat function later in this webinar - and will be included in additional AMC materials.

Attorney General Ellison – Bio - https://www.ag.state.mn.us/office/agbio.asp

Eric: Given the status of the Purdue appeal, is that $6 billion counted in the figure cited for payments coming to MN?

No, the $6 billion Purdue figure is not accounted for in the figures cited on our website.

Hi all - in case you are wondering, here's a link to the MOA - which details the allowable expenditures.....beginning on page 15 I believe. https://www.ag.state.mn.us/opioids/docs/MN_MoA.pdf

Will the AG be updating the distribution payment spreadsheet as the timing and levels of the anticipated payments are known (so we don't assume straight-line revenues based on our 2022 revenue experience)?

This is Sherri Larsen, CEO of Synergen Behavioral Health located in St. Paul, MN. In addition to psychiatry and therapy we also offer MAT services and have several SAMHSA certified providers. Is there a way we can partner with County entities with this opportunity to help community outreach?

Thanks to you all for your work as well! Truly a team effort

Can you please share these presentations?

Yes, we will post the PPTs on the same webpage and the recording of this meeting, along with a number of other resources so you have everything in one place.

Let us know:Has your county/region started conversations about the opioid settlement dollars?Do you have any preliminary ideas on where you anticipate dedicating the funding?

Minneapolis has started the discussion. We are analyzing our spending on opioid related work

ex. Fire department OD response and tx, health department opioid response, police response, etc.

Thank you

We are also planning a meeting with Hennepin County to make sure we are coordinating and maziminzing spending.

Thank you!!!
