“Well, looking at Paul's reaction, I think the answer is no. So were there any other departments, Al, that you wanted to talk about or any of the other funds or anything you want to talk about this evening before the next workshop?”

“I think that's something that we've seen both in the police report and in the code report is this proactive and proactive policing and code work has been very effective within the community and the numbers I think reflect that. Both numbers in the actions of the department and the numbers in the budget of those departments. So, Chief Doreen, thank you both for the presentations, for the lean budgets you presented. Thanks for working with Al. And Al, thanks very much for working with them to present that to us. Go ahead, John.”

Can you give us just kind of an outline of what the plan is to be quite to be candid? I'm probably going to be on a plane, so I might not be able to be here for that one.”
