In a 5-0 vote,(Carter absent) after what seemed to be excessive discussion, the Oro Valley Council came to their senses and said "no" to funding any outside entities in the upcoming fiscal year.
Project Graduation may still receive funds via the Police Department's seizure funds.
Hallelujah!

KC Carter Only "No" Vote On Police Dep't Management Study
True to his word of not voting for ANY motion put forth by Bill Garner or Salette Latas, KC Carter cast the only "No" vote to have a Police Department Management Study done by a qualified outside agency.
With an amendment to also do a study on the Parks & Rec Department, even Mayor Loomis and Council Member Kunisch voted "yes."
Hopefully the study on the Police Department will be done, especially since that department accounts for approximately 1/2 of the OV budget. Staff was directed to come back with information on this item at the Jan. 6, 2010 meeting.
