and prepared a Supplemental Agreement for Additional Funds (“SAAF”) to provide for the equitable

governments maximize North Carolina’s share of opioid settlement funds to ensure the needed

response to the opioid epidemic, and to maximize the share of opioid settlement funds received both in
the state and this County to help abate the harm; and
WHEREAS, the SAAF directs substantial resources over multiple years to local governments
on the front lines of the opioid epidemic while ensuring that these resources are used in an effective way
to address the crisis.
