Do these 9 people desperately need an iPad in order to keep track of information?
Don’t they all have a computer, a laptop, an iPhone, etc. what on earth is the need to spend the Peoples’ money on this frivolity?
Finally, why is it necessary for the police chief to possess the agenda items for public works or Parks?
Does he not have the ability to read the agenda on his computer, like, oh, say, you and me?
And remember, the Council did not authorize this purchase, nor even (apparently) discuss the need.
