Scott County Fiscal Court voted April 11 to allocate $15,000 in opioid settlement funds to support digital marketing and outreach for addiction resources, including promotion of the county's NET (naloxone/overdose) device and other recovery resources.

Cam (county staff) told the court that a proposed arrangement with Net Recovery Corporation would provide roughly $1,000 per month for 12 months for digital outreach, plus an estimated $3,000 for graphic production and related work. Cam said he had discussed the plan with Crystal Miller, who would oversee or coordinate implementation.

Magistrates discussed possibilities for involving local high‑school students or county staff in creative work; one magistrate suggested the health department partner with local students for content creation. Dwayne Sexton moved to approve the allocation and Rob Jones seconded; the court approved the $15,000 allocation on a voice vote with no recorded opposition.

The resolution authorizing the CPF application (a separate agenda item) was discussed earlier in the meeting; this allocation uses opioid settlement funds for public education about treatment resources and naloxone availability rather than for direct clinical services, according to staff.

Why it matters: the funding is intended to increase public awareness of local overdose‑response resources and to support distribution of information about the county's NET device. Officials said the dollars would pay for sustained digital outreach and a limited amount of print work over 12 months.

Details and oversight: staff said there is no required match for the work; staff will provide more information on deliverables and report back. The motion passed by voice vote; no roll‑call tally was recorded.
