PUBLIC HEARINGS
R-22-045
RELATIVE TO THE SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION OF $50,294.73 OF FY2022 UNANTICIPATED REVENUE
INTO FUND 7024 “OPIOID ABATEMENT EXPENDABLE TRUST FUND”
Chairman Dowd
Okay. This evening we're going to be holding a public hearing on two pieces of resolution. The first is relative to the
supplemental appropriation of $50,294.73 of FY2022 unanticipated revenue into fund 7024 Opioid Abatement
Expendable Trust Fund. Is there anyone that's going to be presenting this?
Rose Marie Evans, Comptroller
Good evening. Rose Evans, Comptroller. The body of the legislation states these are funds that are part of opioid
settlement funds that is received by the State and Nashua receives its proportionate share of those funds on an
annual basis. In 2021, we created this Opioid Expendable Trust Fund and we plan to supplementally appropriate
these funds every year as the amount we are going to receive is unknown. I'd be happy to answer any questions.
Chairman Dowd
Do any of the Aldermen have any clarifying questions on this Resolution? Again, it's State money that's given to the
city that we are now allocating into expendable trust funds so it can be spent for this reason. Are there any questions?
Seeing none. I'll now open up testimony in favor of R-22-045. Is there anyone in the audience or anyone on Zoom
who wishes to speak in favor?
TESTIMONY IN FAVOR - None
TESTIMONY IN OPPOSITION - None
TESTIMONY IN FAVOR - None
TESTIMONY IN OPPOSITION - None
Chairman Dowd closed the public hearing on Resolution R-22-045 at 7:05 p.m.
