CIP PROJECT UPDATE
Nassau Bay is happy to report another finished project at David Braun Park. The mechanical room, connected to the pavilion, was cleaned, renovated, and a new roof was installed. Once the pavilion stabilization project is complete, the side of the building facing the basketball floor will be painted with a large Nassau Bay logo. Another great job by Public Works and the Parks & Recreation Committee!
YOUR $2 FIRE & EMS DONATIONS AT WORK The City of Nassau Bay Utility Department provides residents with the opportunity to make a voluntary $2.00 donation to the Nassau Bay Volunteer Fire Department (NBVFD) and Emergency Medical Service (EMS) with the payment of each water bill. Donations are used by these departments for tools, resources, and capital items to better provide emergency services to our residents. During the past year, the Volunteer Fire Department was able to use this money to purchase replacement AEDs for two fire trucks, a storage trailer, and a light tower for the mobile command post, among other items. The EMS Department utilized these donations for rapid deployment gurneys and tourniquets for emergency planning. Residents interested in donating to the NBVFD and EMS may simply add $2.00 to their payment when paying the “Total Due” amount on their water bill. Your donation may be considered a tax-deductible charitable donation because the City is a qualified entity and the donation is being used for a restricted public purpose. Please contact your tax professional for more information about tax deductible charitable donations. For more information about the NBVFD, please visit www.nassaubayfd.com.
PRESCRIPTION DRUG TAKE BACK
On Saturday, April 27th, from 10:00am to 2:00pm, the Nassau Bay Police Department will be partnering with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to give the public an opportunity to rid their homes of potentially dangerous, expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs. Bring any pills for disposal to the parking lot of Nassau Bay City Hall at 1800 Space Park Drive, Nassau Bay, Texas. Officers will be in the parking lot to collect and dispose of the drugs, and you will not need to leave your vehicle. The DEA cannot accept liquids, needles, or sharps, and will ONLY accept pills or patches on April 27th. The service is free and anonymous – no questions asked. This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines—flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash—both pose potential safety and health hazards.
