This is an important meeting for residents because the CSD board is discussing what to put on the ballot for us to vote on in November about our police department. Originally the board voted to ask approval to increase funding but due to some issue with public notice, they have instead decided the question instead should be whether we want to keep the PD or not. Apparently that will be the topic on Thursday the 7th at the Community Center at 5:30PM.
There are many pros and cons for each choice; the Citizens Task Force has laid these out in their report which was given to the board a year ago. To obtain a copy for yourself you may wish to contact a board member or call the LSPOA office at 938-3281. The CSD Board members are Beverly Roths, Carol Cupp, Jack Dean, Tom Wetter, and Richard Negro.
Once again, this is a big decision with many, many long-lasting implications and we owe it to ourselves to be well-informed before November rolls around. There are two more Town Hall meetings coming up too, watch the paper for the dates. I will try to announce them here, as well. I'm so convinced we need to be involved that I will try and organize a car pool if enough people call me (938-0385).
