Budget on track for March; possible explosive-device call cleared as harmless
Summary
Chief reported the March 2026 year-to-date budget at 69.5% and said motor-vehicle enforcement increased as weather improved; a recent call coded as a possible explosive device was investigated and cleared as a benign box after a bomb-sniffing dog search.
At the April 15 meeting, the police chief reported the department is operating at 69.5% of its 2026 budget through March, leaving about three months of the fiscal year to monitor expenditures and overtime.
Chief noted motor-vehicle enforcement activity has resumed after snow melt, aided by a distracted-driving enforcement grant. He also described an incident that initially was coded as a possible explosive device; officers deployed a bomb-sniffing dog and determined the item was harmless, likely a box used for yard games.
Chair asked staff to follow up on the call-coding to ensure the record matches the final disposition. The commission received the reports with no additional action.
