ADJOURNMENT
Are they selling the vehicles?
They’ll probably have them destroyed like Baltimore does with unneeded fire arms.
If the budget was passed and the increase in fees and taxes is a done deal, why are the Aberdeen Police officers not getting a 2% raise as promised?
I am glad they are getting rid of wasted or surplus vehicles, but the question is how?
The last question, where is the LEED topic? Did the council pay attention to it’s citizens? I sure hope so.
