That there be no misunderstanding or misquote, I am sending you this e-mail. I am in favor of outfitting our police officers with protection vest that they may fight crime w/o fear of getting killed by a criminal with heavy fire power. I am a firm believer in supporting our law enforcement financially and with excellent necessary equipment. In order to invest financially in equipment upgrade, I as a council member must know our financial condition of the City. I cannot in good conscience spend money and not know how much money we have available to spend. I have not received a financial report telling me the city’s financial condition. The Mayor said we have $220,000 Surplus and a member of the Council told me we have 1.2 Million deficit. I am therefore giving notice to the treasurer for financial reporting and information to enable me as a council member to do my job. Please Mr. Treasurer give us a full Financial report! I have asked for a list of current liabilities, list of bills owed, and outstanding checks.
Very respectfully, Joe St.Columbia Sr. Alderman Ward 2
