Brief description of the problem/issue:
The Weld County Department of Public Health & Environment (WCDPHE) coordinates and facilitates the Weld
Regional Opioid Abatement Council (WROC) meeting, funding allocation, and program oversight. The WROC
has allocated continued funding for 1.0 FTE to serve as a coordinator and to facilitate opioid prevention measures
in Weld County. Funding for an additional 0.5 FTE has been allocated to support evidence based opioid
prevention programming.
What options exist for the Board?

Consequences: Approving this agreement will enable WCDPHE to continue to support the WROC and
provide education and programming to reduce opioid use and overdose in Weld County.
Impacts: Opioid settlement funding earmarked for Weld County is allocated by the WROC. The WROC
funds projects like this to reduce opioid abuse in Weld County. Opioid abatement activities performed by the
WCDPHE are almost exclusively funded by the WROC.
Costs (Current Fiscal Year/ Ongoing or Subsequent Fiscal Years):
This agreement will grant$112,283.44 of continued funding to support 1 current FTE Health Education Specialist
I as the WROC Coordinator, and $88,205.29 to support .5 FTE and implementation of evidence-based opioid
prevention programming. No county costs are being requested, no match is required, and this funding was
included as revenue in the 2026 budget. Activities will be performed by existing staff, no new FTEs are
requested.
