The City Council will be discussing budget changes at the November 1st Council Meeting. I will again be arguing for the elimination of the $54,000 Administrative Assistant position. I will be asking that a Police Investigator be hired mid way through 2006. This will have a cost of $35,000 for the 2006 budget cycle.
A Police Investigator will allow patrol officers more time on the street. This becomes critical with the development east of highway 65. Another factor is the new school. I will be stressing the need to have more police resources involved with enforcing the school zones. This will bring greater safety to our children going to and from school.
As our population continues to grow so must our police protection. Police and fire protection should be at the top of our priority list. We can not continue to see rapid residential growth without a corresponding level of safety protection. Police protection should never be in a catch up mode. Please let me know if you have any comments or concerns.

Why would we not hire a new cop????? $54,000 for an assistant. This is a waste of money. Get the cop and keep us safe.
Those other council people need to understand that we need more police. Why do they want to take my tax money and pay $54,000 for someone's assistant?
we need more police....tell them to stop wasting our money.
I hope you keep fighting these guys. You should be Mayor. You have a vision for Isanti. Keep up the great work.
We need more police not more high paid staff people who just sit in chairs all day
Tell the good ole boys to hire the cop!!!!! tell them to stop helping only the developers and help us for once!!!!!
the good old boys! 3 stooges! what-ever you want to call them,2 of them make money from iverson and one just works for businesses that go out of busines after they hire her! so who is getting kick backs here? and it seems like someone is trying too make the city go broke, how about having the staff do there jobs better,hold them accountable,the city hall does not make money for the city it costs us money,the police can at least get some money back for the city NOT AN ASSISTANT!!!
