Opioid Settement Budget Template-Post(XLS).xlsx

This document is an Opioid Settlement Budget Template Excel spreadsheet designed for documenting county-level expenses related to opioid settlement funds. The template provides a structured format for organizations to detail their budget allocations across three project years, with designated columns for line item expenses, amounts, and justifications. The spreadsheet instructs users to enter financial information only in yellow-shaded cells and requires narrative explanations to be documented in a separate "Narrative" sheet.

The budget template covers multiple expense categories including salary and fringe benefits, supplies and materials, equipment, travel, rent, utilities, media/communications, staff development, professional services, and other administrative costs. While no specific dollar amounts are populated in the template, it is structured to allow granular tracking of expenditures, with spaces for breaking down costs by type and year. The template appears to be part of a standardized approach for counties to transparently account for how opioid settlement funds will be utilized, likely as part of a broader strategy to address the impacts of the opioid crisis at the local government level.
