Local commenters urge Twisp to keep participating in county drug task force
Summary
Residents urged the Town to continue or fund participation in the county drug task force, with one commenter proposing the use of $25,000 or Police Department funds to support the effort.
At the public-comment portion of the meeting, Mark Edson told councilors that "if Town cannot come up with the $25,000," officials should consider reallocating Police Department funds or other town dollars to maintain Twisp's participation in the county drug task force. He argued funds are available and should be used given perceived gaps in local policing.
Marcia Butchart also spoke in favor of the town participating in the task force, describing drugs as one of the town's biggest issues and saying that supporting the task force is "the least we can do." The council did not vote on the drug task force funding at the meeting; the comments were recorded for follow-up.
