directed staff to give the remaining funding left after adjustments were made to the Battalion Chiefs. She

the Police Lieutenants and the Battalion Chiefs. The funds have been adjusted to make the two positions
equitable as they both report to their respective"chiefs". She noted that the mayor was agreeable to this
change but was not sure the remainder of the council was agreeable.
Mayor Hogue asked the council if this change was agreeable. The consensus of the council was
agreeable.
