Pardon the Interruption, Business travel interrupts my BOA narrative.
The Official Unofficial Minutes of the WL BOA
October 1

I hate it when work interferes with my hobbies, but duties in Beantown beckoned and I dutifully responded.

Police Report
Chief Gary presented a new part-time officer, Bruce Luedeman for consideration by the council. An experienced law officer, Bruce will be available during the week to fill in. The Chief explained how important that is in light of many of the part-time officers only being available for weekend duty. Bruce approved by the BOA at $13.50 an hour.

The Department had another busy month with 102 calls, there were three reported thefts in access areas and two burglaries of homes. The Chief was quick to assure the BOA that the burglaries were "internal" jobs, that is relatives or friends of the owners. One loss is estimated @ $11,000...causing a gasp in the crowd as Gary believes the loss may not be recovered...ouch.

A report of green vegetative matter in prepared food as well as some found in the restrooms was reported at an event at the Community Center. Yep, MaryJane. Caused a scare as one of the consumers of said Weed was a police officer with Federal ties...I guess that would mess up a random drug test. Apparently as is well as the concerned officer tested negative. No arrests made but reportedly there were no leftovers either.

One last item, it was noted there have already been over a thousand security checks of homes this year, dwarfing last years total of 970.

Going back to last post of Golf Carts. What do you want your Police Department to be doing...security of the City or policing Golf Carts? Really.
