Councilman Kaupin stated this is not an issue of the program, but rather it's the elimination of two officers and reducing the head count by two. He noted that's his justification for voting against this amendment.
Councilman Egan stated her comfort level fell when it was more or less presumed that their regular officers would pick up the slack. She stated her belief it's important they have an earmarked SRO officer. She noted she will be voting against this amendment.
Councilman Dodd stated he was opposed to doing this during deliberations. He stated his belief the Police Chief is a professional police person in running his department, and although a particular program may not do as well as they had hoped, he does not believe reducing the head count is the answer to the problem. He noted he will be voting "no" on this amendment.
Councilman Tait stated he is voting against the head count reduction He stated his impression most of the Council agreed that the DARE Program needed revamping. He stated his belief during this time of national security interests, the last thing they should be doing is reducing the head count of the security forces.
Councilman Fiore agreed the DARE program should be revamped. He noted although technically this is a reduction of head count, the physical reality is that this is not a reduction of jobs.
Councilman Crowley voiced his support of this resolution.

RESOLUTION #7189 by Councilman Tait, seconded by Councilman Mangini.
Councilman Kaupin requested clarification on the first part of the resolution. He noted he doesn't recall discussions about taking money out of tennis courts, the Mancuso Complex and Shapiro. Mr. Shanley stated that was during the CIP discussions. He noted the Council received a memo from him dated April 14th. He explained these are either to
close or move funds into Reserve in order to finance the budget the Council passed in terms of creating the appropriate amount of reserves. Councilman Kaupin questioned for which capital projects. Mr. Shanley stated his belief the total appropriation in the capital fund from Reserves is $975,000. He explained the way to get to that reserve is to move these funds into that reserve account.
Councilman Kaupin questioned if these are closed accounts and balances that they don't anticipate using. Mr. Shanley responded some are either closed or balances that they don't anticipate using in the near future. Councilman Kaupin referred to the Mancuso Park where the Town still feels in the future this might be the place for a large recreational facility. Mr. Shanley pointed out there's still $100,000 in that account.
