1998-99 BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS:
 
The budget includes funding for the creation of a canine unit which will include 2 dogs.  One of the dogs has been funded by donations made by private citizens.  The other dog will be paid for with special funds.  The budget also includes funding for specialized training and equipment for the Community Action Team, which consists of six officers and a sergeant who primarily patrol the downtown area on foot and the Rec Trail by bicycle.  This will meet an increasing need for the Police Department to provide immediate emergency water rescue rather than relying on other agencies.  The purchase of 2 automatic defibrillators are included in the budget.  Oftentimes the police are the first responders to life threatening medical calls and the defibrillators will give the department the potential for saving lives in such situations.
