AGENDA #:
PREPARED BY: SARAH SCHWARZHOFF, CITY ATTORNEY
PRESENTED BY: SARAH SCHWARZHOFF
AGENDA ITEM: DISCUSS OPIOID LITIGATION
ACTION
REQUESTED:
Determine if City Council is interested in proceeding with opioid litigation.
INTRODUCTION Many entities, including state and local governments around the country,
have filed suit against various pharmaceutical companies related to the
opioid crisis. The City has an opportunity to file suit and be joined into
already existing Multi-State litigation. This would allow the City the
possibility of recovery without the accompanying legal costs. See the
attached correspondence for the details of the litigation.
