RECOMMENDATION(S):

CONSIDER accepting report from the Health Services Department on the implementation of the County’s Safe Drug Disposal Ordinance.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

BACKGROUND:

On December 20, 2016, the Board adopted Ordinance No. 2016-24 (the “Ordinance,”), attached, which set forth requirements for drug manufacturers to establish one or more stewardship programs for the collection and disposal of unwanted drugs from residents in the unincorporated area.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Since the adoption of the Ordinance, staff has been working to implement its provisions. On September 26, 2017, staff provided a status report on its efforts to the Board, which included a discussion regarding outreach to cities that may wish to have drug collection kiosks in incorporated areas and possible ordinance amendments. The Board accepted the report and directed staff to return with a follow-up report.

The attached report summarizes implementation efforts to date and recommendations with regard to amending the Ordinance. The report also summarizes key components of a stewardship plan submitted by MED-Project on behalf of several manufacturers (copy attached), which was approved by the County Health Officer in June and is scheduled to be implemented in September.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Board would not receive staff’s report on implementation of the Ordinance.
