A RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH AKRON CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL FOR A SAFE HAVEN BABY BOX. Brief Description: In October 2023, City Communication and Fire Staff presented research for the Council discussion on Safe Haven Baby Boxes, which are devices provided for under the State of Ohio Safe Haven Law and legally permit birth parent(s) in crisis to safely, securely, and anonymously surrender if they are unable to care for their newborn. In lieu of installing a box at the Hudson Safety Center, Council indicated it would consider donating up to $10,000 toward installation of a box at Akron Children’s Hospital pending a mutually acceptable agreement with the other party.
