THAT’S BECAUSE LATE LAST WEEK HE DECIDED NOT TO TAKE THE JOB…CITING SALARY ISSUES.  TREXEL HAS AGREED TO REMAIN ACTING CHIEF UNTIL A PERMANENT REPLACEMENT CAN BE FOUND.  WHEN THAT HAPPENS, HE’LL RETURN TO HIS JOB AS A BATTALION CHIEF.

 THE COUNCIL TONITE(MON) WILL GIVE SECOND READING TO AN ORDINANCE DESIGNED TO TIGHTEN THE REINS ON BAD LANDLORDS…THERE ARE A COUPLE OF RESOLUTIONS UP FOR VOTES THAT WOULD RAISE ONE FEE AND CREATE ANOTHER FOR THE OWNERS OF PETS TAKEN TO THE ANIMAL SHELTER…AND THE COUNCIL WILL ACCEPT A 400-THOUSAND DOLLAR DONATION FROM THE WINEGARD COMPANY TOWARD THE PLANNING FOR AN INDOOR RECREATION CENTER.

TONITE’S MEETING IS AT 6:30 ON THE THIRD FLOOR OF CITY HALL.
