There are training issues, we do have May training scheduled. Chief Bruck stated he has been talking with the officers regarding their interest and needs.

Discussion: Mrs. Callahan stated the supplemental for $2,200 is for a new mower for the Service Department. This is a larger mower than the one we traded thus the difference in cost needed to purchase new mower. $11,200 is needed for bridge load ratings.
