Between October 2024 and December 2025 the City Council acted on the settlement money twice, both times to bring it into the budget. Resolution R-122445 on the 12/04/2024 agenda is a Chapter 159 insertion of 79,532.44 titled Public Opioid Trust, for 2024 opioid settlement. Resolution R-122538 on the 12/17/2025 agenda is a Chapter 159 insertion of 737,494.81, for 2025 opioid settlement. Neither names a recipient, a department or a use. The agendas for 12/18/2024 and 12/30/2024, the two meetings after journal entries 339 and 340 were posted on 12/16/2024, carry no opioid item. This project searched every City Council agenda from October 2024 through December 2025 and found no resolution transferring settlement money to police, fire, human services or capital, and no capital ordinance for the 250,000.00 moved to the Capital Improvement Fund. Asked twice for the authorizing resolutions or a statement that none exist, the City produced neither. Every one of the eight journal vouchers produced for the transfers was posted under the same user code, RMULRINE.
