Police chief says department is under budget after cruiser sale; increases limited to salaries
Summary
Chief Derrick Tienken told the board the police/rescue budget request is lower this year because the cruiser is gone and the town is not paying a particular salary; the board agreed to hold the Gas & Oil line as proposed.
Chief of Police Derrick Tienken reported that the department’s budget request is lower this year because the cruiser has been removed from the fleet and the town is not paying one staff member's salary this year (referenced as 'Cory'), leaving only salary-driven increases. He told the board the department is "coming in under budget," and the board discussed the Gas & Oil line item before deciding to leave that portion of the budget unchanged for now.
Board members acknowledged the savings and the reduced operational costs tied to fleet changes, and planned to carry the department's proposed figures into the draft budget. There was no separate motion recorded to change police appropriations at this meeting.
