Foss, City Manager SUBJECT: Service Agreement with the Med-Project for a Host Collection Site for Unwanted Prescription Medicines Prepared by: Nate Schmidt, Captain Dublin Police Services EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: In 2012, the County of Alameda approved an Ordinance for the disposal of household pharmaceuticals. Subsequent to this Ordinance, the ‘Med -Project Product Stewardship Plan’ began to provide kiosks at Host collection sites to collect Unwanted Prescription Medicines. The City Council is being asked to consider approval of an agreement with the ‘Med-Project’ to obtain a kiosk and have a location for the community to dispos e of their unwanted pharmaceuticals in a safe manner. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Resolution Approving the Agreement with the Med-Project for the Services of Collection and Destruction of Unwanted Pharmaceuticals. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There are no associated costs to enter into this agreement. DESCRIPTION: Prescription drugs are a necessary medical technology that successfully allow us to live longer, healthier, and more productive lives. However, the public, particularly children and the elderly, are at significant and unnecessary risk of poisoning due to improper or careless disposal of prescription drugs and the illegal re-sale of prescription drugs. Groundwater and drinking water are also at risk of being contaminated by unwanted, leftover or expired prescription drugs passing through our wastewater and treatment centers. For the reasons outlined above, in 2012, the County of Alameda passed Ordinance 6.53 to establish a drug stewardship program allowing citizens to have location to safely dispose of their unwanted prescription medication. Subsequent to this Ordinance, the Page 2 of 2 Med-Project Product Stewardship Plan was established. ‘Med-Project LLC’ provides the following services to Host collection sites: · Delivery and installation of an authorized prescription medication collection kiosk; · Processing, packaging and disposal of the prescription medication on a schedule agreed upon by both the host and the ‘Med-Project’; · The ‘Med-Project’ will respond to the host location to service the kiosk should it be full or have any malfunction; · The ‘Med-Project’ is currently and shall remain in compliance with all applicable laws regarding the collection, handling, processing, and disposal of unwanted medicine; · The ‘Med-Project’ possesses all required authorizations and authority to enter into an agreement with the City of Dublin and this Agreement has been duly authorized and executed by the ‘Med -Project’ in compliance with all required authorizations; and · The ‘Med-Project’ will provide the services outlined, free of any associated costs. To provide the community a safe place to dispose of their unwanted prescription medications, Staff is asking for approval of an agreement with the ‘Med -Project’ and establish a host location. City staff has conducte d research for the location of the prescription medication collection kiosk and have found the lobby of the Police Services building to best meet the needs for this project. This location will provide access to the kiosk on a continuous basis. City staff has met with a representative from the ‘Med - Project’ and confirmed the kiosk will fit in the desired location and will not conflict with the current décor.
