Committee discusses library drug-education display, portable exhibit and outreach materials
Summary
Jefferson County committee members reviewed a library drug-education display proposal from Alec Macunas, confirmed an up-to-$3,000 payment had been approved or issued for his work, debated display costs (portable ~ $800, shelving $1,500–$2,000) and discussed outreach via the "Tall Cop" podcast and QR-code materials.
Jefferson County opioid committee members reviewed a library drug-education exhibit proposed by Alec Macunas and discussed outreach formats and funding.
Unidentified Speaker 3 described two display concepts: a fixed, three-dimensional library exhibit and a portable display that could be used at community events such as the Jefferson County Fair. "It's actually 2 feet by 3 feet," Unidentified Speaker 3 said of the three-dimensional board, and added that the display includes small bottles to simulate fentanyl and other three-dimensional props.
Committee members addressed funding and procurement. Speakers said Alec/Alex initially discussed $1,000 for a display but later indicated $3,000; Unidentified Speaker 3 and others confirmed the committee had approved up to $3,000 for Alex's project and that an invoice should be submitted to the committee office for payment. Unidentified Speaker 3 and others discussed additional display-related costs: a portable unit was described as roughly $800 (the transcript also lists figures as "$7.99" and "$8.50," likely transcription errors), shelving or fixed-unit frames at $1,500–$2,000, and materials and books in the low hundreds. Committee members suggested the library could serve as the home for a fixed unit and that a portable display would be useful at fairs and outreach events.
Members also considered communication strategies: Unidentified Speaker 2 proposed using a "Tall Cop" podcast and producing a shareable slide or QR-code resource list for schools and events, with a potential print run of about 500 flyers. Speakers recommended emphasizing QR codes and electronic distribution for younger audiences.
The committee did not record a formal roll-call vote in the transcript on these expenditures; members instructed Mr. Macunas to submit an invoice and agreed he should return for further funding requests if necessary. The group discussed timing and logistics for exhibit deployment and the need to track expenses against the opioid fund balance.
