Council hears update on proposed drug drop‑off box; action tabled pending product and cost
Summary
Councilman Todd Thomas reported he identified a preferred drop‑box location at city hall and is seeking a heavy‑duty, secured unit; the council voted to table final approval until the product and cost (anticipated under $1,000) are confirmed.
Todd Thomas provided an update on a proposed external drug drop‑off box following a citizen suggestion. He said the existing dropbox has served the community for 15 years and that staff and law enforcement advise placing an upgraded, secure unit by the drive‑up window outside city hall where cameras can monitor vandalism but not identify patrons.
Thomas said he had not yet obtained final pricing but expected the cost to be under $1,000 and asked the council whether to approve a recommended location or wait for specifics. The mayor suggested tabling action until Thomas returns with product details and cost; Thomas made a motion to table the matter, which the council seconded and approved unanimously.
Council directed Thomas to return with recommended product specifications, a cost estimate and proposed procurement steps for formal approval.
