At its July 25 meeting the Edgerton City Council read a proclamation declaring Aug. 21, 2024 National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day. Sharen and Lee Lucero, who lost their daughter to fentanyl, thanked the council and urged broader access to the opioid-reversal drug Narcan. "Not everyone who dies from fentanyl is an addict either," Sharen Lucero said, noting organ donations following their daughter's death.
The council also recognized City Clerk Alex Clower, who received the 2024 'Rookie of the Year' award from the Kansas City Municipal Finance Officers Association (CCMFOA). Clerk Clower thanked council and staff for support.
In a walk-on presentation, insurance broker Kevin O’Brien told the council the city earned a dividend from EMC Insurance for the 2023–2024 policy term and presented a check for $6,795.78. Mayor Roberts praised the broker’s work, particularly during the city’s flood response.
These ceremonial items were accepted and acknowledged by the council during the meeting.
