It was the consensus of the City Council for the City Manager to notify the charitable organizations that their funding will be in serious question, and give them the history of how this had been placed in the budget as he had explained to them earlier. Karl Louis, Police Chief, came forward stating that many of the organizations they have been discussing tonight are kind of interrelated to law enforcement. He said, for instance, NETCADA, on the prevention side, really assisted the Police Department and felt it was money well spent. He said the Children's Advocacy Center also works with the Police Department on children that have been molested and it is critically important for them to work in relationship with the Children's Advocacy Center. Chief Louis said if the city comes up with a new policy regarding recommendations to Council, especially those related to law enforcement, he would like the Council to take that into consideration and allow the Police Department to be a participant in the staff recommendations to the Council in regard to those particular issues.
