Council approves consent agenda including $82,000 state drug task force grant
Summary
Price City Council approved consent agenda items 5a–5d, which included acceptance of an $82,000 state drug task force grant, after a short discussion recognizing the task force's role in enforcement and prevention.
Price City Council approved the consent agenda covering items 5a through 5d at its May 28 meeting. The agenda bundle included a state drug task force grant of $82,000, which city staff described as awarded to local law enforcement.
The police chief (unnamed in the transcript) told the council that the drug task force is "a necessity" for the community and cited the unit's work on awareness, reduction and rehabilitation efforts. The chief said, "we were awarded 82,000 for the grant," and noted that task-force members conduct trainings for the public and that an officer from the local task force was recognized at the state level last year.
Council Member Jesperson moved to approve consent agenda items 5a through 5d; Council Member Richardson seconded the motion. The presiding official called for a voice vote; those present answered "aye," and the motion carried.
The council did not provide additional details at the meeting about how the $82,000 would be allocated across enforcement, prevention or treatment programs or about any required matching funds.
