RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION:
• Approve ordinance
ITEM SUMMARY:
• Consider/Discuss/Act on an Ordinance Amending the Annual Budget to Appropriate Funds Received from the Opioid Abatement Settlement.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
• The State of Texas, along with a coalition of states and subdivisions (cities and counties), reached final agreements with pharmaceutical and manufacturing companies (including Teva, Allergen, CVS, Walmart, and Walgreens) to resolve “legal claims against them for their role in the opioid crisis.” The State of Texas received about $1.6 billion in settlements. A bill passed by the Texas Legislation in 2021 created the Texas Opioid Abatement Trust Fund that allowed funds to be allocated to cities and counties.
• On April 1, 2025, the City received a total of $134,185 for the 2025 distribution from the Opioid Abatement Settlement Fund, under the Texas Treasury Trust. Political subdivisions may use their discretion to spend their allocated share of the funds, as long as the funds are used to address opioid-related harms in their communities and abide by state and federal laws. See Texas Government Code § 403.506(c)(1).
FINANCIAL SUMMARY:
• This Ordinance amends the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Annual Budget by appropriating $134,185 received from the Opioid Abatement to provide funding for the McKinney Police, Fire and Housing and Community Development initiatives.
