Nye County Seeks Opioid Fund Input, Withholds Key Details | The Locally Times

Nye County invites public input on opioid settlement funds but withholds the survey link, the total amount of the funds, and a deadline for participation.

## Notices Lack Survey and Fund Details The public announcements do not provide the necessary information for residents to participate. The notices lack a direct link to the online survey, instructions on how to find it, or a contact for obtaining a physical copy. A deadline for completing the needs assessment survey is also not provided. Additionally, public records do not disclose the total amount of opioid settlement funds Nye County has received or is projected to receive. The announcements do not specify the criteria for evaluating survey responses, the process for making final spending decisions, or how Health & Human Services will report the findings to the public. ## Bill to Amend Financial Oversight Scheduled for Hearing Coinciding with the survey announcement, Nye County has scheduled a public hearing for Bill No. 2026-02, which would amend its financial procedures. A public notice posted February 3, 2026, sets the hearing for 10:00 AM on March 3, 2026, before the Board of County Commissioners. The public notice does not state whether this proposed change is related to the management of the opioid settlement funds. A copy of the bill is available for public review at the Nye County Clerk’s Office in Tonopah.
