It's been going on for a long time, and it's not a secret.

We've met with the Salinas Police Department, and they just can't meet our needs 100 percent.

This is the first time this group has played together as a unit and they did very well. It's what you always hope for and something we hope we can build on the rest of the year.

Too often, vouchers caused checks to be written without board members looking closely at the vouchers. We need more time to look at them before approving them. Comparisons need to be made.

For a long time, there wasn't much board scrutiny. Things worked on almost auto-pilot.

We're not discussing any matters like that at this time. I talked to the Connecticut Post a couple of weeks ago with regard to things and we're continuing to follow the course as we always do.
