In response to a question from Councilmember Lacy, Chief Harrison said the Kid's Night Out program
had been partially funded with grant money; the DARE program was funded with donations and cost
about seven hundred dollars for supplies.
Chief Harrison said these programs were not part of the planned cuts in the department at this time. He
added a change in level of service could increase crime in East Wenatchee, but he did not know that for
certain.
City Attorney Zimmerman gave an update on the budget, noting services performed and unusual cases
that had increased costs.
Mayor Collings said it was time to look to the future and have a willingness to tighten our belts.
Councilmember Lacy said when revenues are less than expenditures, something has to be done.
