Winnebago County Public Health told the Neenah City Council on April 2 that local outreach for Public Health Week will include presentations and training on overdose stigma, Narcan distribution and preparedness, and that a vending machine providing Narcan and basic kits is being used in the community.
Susan Garcia Franz, representing Winnebago County Public Health, described the county’s Public Health Week activities and said the vending machine outside the county office in Neenah was “used continuously” over the weekend and had to be reloaded. She described PIN-based access for items in the machine and said the PIN can be issued immediately and is typically valid for a three-month window.
Separately, Samuel Roth, a Neenah resident, asked the council to direct the election office to provide a convenient file of registered voter and turnout data broken down by ward for each election dating back to February 2007 and for future elections. Roth said he had requested data from the Winnebago County clerk, who provided turnout back to 1990 but not at the ward granularity used in city reporting. City staff said Roth’s request was being handled as an open-records request and that if a particular record does not exist the city does not have to provide it.
Council members asked clarifying questions. Alderman Lundrum visited the vending machine and confirmed it is outside the Social Services building; staff clarified the PIN is issued immediately so users can obtain Narcan at the time of request. The clerk noted the voter-data request was being processed under open-records procedures and that staff would provide available data if it exists.
