Approve Location of Drug Takeback Box at Hugo City Hall In the past, Council had indicated an interest in having a drug takeback box to be located at Hugo City Hall. This would be a part of Washington County’s drug takeback program that provides a place for residents to get rid of unwanted medications in a safe manner. The box would be located in the northeast corner of the City Hall lobby. This box would be anchored to the wall or floor and monitored by the Washington County Sheriff’s Office. Mayor Weidt removed this from the Consent Agenda to allow Sheriff Dan Starry to talk about the program.
