Horsey, that's very interesting. Can the mayor appoint without the consent of you and the other trustees? If that's the case, I'd be bringing in a new ordinance. As for the residents not knowing can the department not be forced to submit quarterly activity logs to keep you informed? I'm pretty sure in GC the aldermen are very well informed of the goings on in the PD and in fact, are sworn in as "law enforcers" themselves.
