During a recent government meeting, officials reviewed several reports, including the Finley Municipal Court activities and the Treasurer's reconciliation report for July 2024, both of which will be filed for further analysis. The police department also presented its activities report for the same month, alongside a letter from Chief of Police Mathias regarding funding for the Findlay Police Department from the Ohio Attorney General.

A significant portion of the discussion focused on the effectiveness of local programs aimed at addressing the opioid crisis. Officials confirmed that they are tracking the impact of these initiatives, noting a marked decrease in overdose incidents and deaths over the past three years. This decline is attributed to the availability and effectiveness of support services that engage individuals in need.

Concerns were raised about the sustainability of these programs, particularly if state grant funding were to be reduced or eliminated. Officials acknowledged that discussions are ongoing regarding alternative funding sources to ensure these critical services continue.

The meeting underscored the importance of evaluating the success of community health initiatives and the need for ongoing support to maintain progress in combating the opioid epidemic.
