I think, maybe for all of us, it touched us a little bit differently because of the closeness.

We?re sort of depending on this decision. We don?t want to spend a lot of time getting into details and working out relationships until this council is more clear which presentation [they prefer].

Our primary objective is to provide the police department with the information they need to enforce the ordinance fairly. The administration and council must provide the department with tools, definitions and intent so they know how to enforce the ordinance.

I need people. We have a system in place. We have people who are working and working hard. It would be nice to give them a break.

I'm someone who won't take sick leave unless I'm on my death bed.

The allocation we receive from the state-mandated (amount) is not adequate to keep us competitive in the marketplace.

It'll be a rolling process.
