Committee approves $486.14 for safe needle disposal in city parks
Summary
The Administration Committee approved a $486.14 Opioid Settlement Fund request to purchase and install safe needle disposal containers in city parks to reduce accidental needle-stick injuries and support harm-reduction efforts; referral sent to County Board.
Douglas County’s Administration Committee voted June 4 to approve and refer a Health and Human Services Board request to spend $486.14 from the Opioid Settlement Fund to install safe needle disposal containers in city parks. The minutes state the purchase is intended to improve public safety and support harm-reduction efforts.
Kelly Peterson moved approval and Charlie Glazman seconded; the motion carried unanimously. The minutes do not specify the number of containers, the target parks, or an installation timeline; those operational details will be determined if and when the County Board acts on the referral.
