Meth, Meth Making Products Before Manchester Aldermen Monday Night

Manchester aldermen may be tightening the rules for purchasing any products, including pseudoephedrine and ephedrine, that are used to make methamphetamine. A prescription may soon be required to purchase the drugs.

Manchester aldermen will hear a presentation on methamphetamine Monday night, as well as discuss adjusting the city's laws regarding the sale of ephedrine and pseudoephedrine products which are items used to produce methamphetamine. The city may soon require a prescription to purchase the allergy medications.

Aldermen will also discuss renewing the city's contract for police dispatching services to be handled through the Ballwin Police Department. 

The city is also considering entering into a $10,325 contract with Gamma Tree Experts for tree trimming services for various right-of-way areas throughout the city.
