The City of DeLand is participating in an interlocal agreement with Volusia County regarding opioid settlement funds. This agreement includes the establishment of an advisory board to make decisions and recommendations on fund usage. The City of DeLand will have an appointee to this advisory board. Additionally, there is a task force, which has been working for a couple of years, that is described as a more technical working group. The city has identified a potential appointee for the task force. This item is currently under review as the city makes its appointments. The process involves making appointments to these boards, which could lead to future work related to fund management and recommendations. Local businesses involved in professional services, government relations, and potentially administrative support could find opportunities as this process moves forward. Engaging early is advisable before specific plans or needs are finalized.
