Cares Committee seeks to hold overdose-awareness observance near Aug. 31
Summary
A member of Long Branch City's Cares Committee told the council the committee plans to repeat last year’s mixed workshop-and-ceremony format for an overdose-awareness event on or near Aug. 31; no formal scheduling vote was recorded in the provided transcript.
A Cares Committee member at a Long Branch City Council meeting said the committee plans to hold an overdose-awareness observance on or about Aug. 31, following the same workshop-and-ceremony format used the previous year.
The proposal was raised under new business, with the committee member asking the council to schedule the meeting closest to Aug. 31 so the observance can follow the pattern used last year.
“We had our workshop meeting and we ended it, I think, at 7. And then we all went down for the ceremony part of overdose awareness, and then we came back up at 07:30,” the Cares Committee member said. The speaker said the committee would like to “do overdose awareness in the same way we did it this past year.”
The transcript shows the committee is seeking informal agreement to repeat that scheduling approach; it does not record a formal vote or an assigned staff action to set the date.
No additional details about funding, permitting, speakers or vendor support for the observance were recorded in the portion of the transcript provided.
