Printup stated <br />tomorrow is September 11th and that he would encourage everyone to stop by the memorial in Mound <br />located across from the VFW. <br /> <br />Printup stated he recently read something where the Sheriff’s Department has prescription medicine drop <br />box locations, with one being located in Spring Park. Printup asked if that is something that can be <br />implemented at the police department in Orono. <br /> <br />Loftus noted the City does advertise the locations of the drop boxes. <br /> <br />Police Chief Farniok stated they have discussed that with Hennepin County but that there are a number of <br />restrictions with how the drop boxes need to be regulated and mandated, which prohibits a lot of agencies <br />from having drop boxes. The Hennepin County Water Patrol has had very good luck with the one located <br />in Spring Park and there are also mobile prescription drug drop-off boxes located at the Hennepin County <br />Maintenance Shop as well as at the West Hennepin Police Department. Hennepin County, rather than <br />looking at installing permanent drop-off boxes, is looking at expanding their mobile prescription drop- <br />offs for various communities. <br />Item #02 - CC Agenda - 09/24/2012 <br />Approval of Council Minutes 09/10/2012 <br />[Page 12 of 26]
