carrying its own insurance; writing checks, including payroll.

Medina would hve 24 hour service, plus the investigator and would be paying $20,000
less than the city is currently budgeting.
Budget for each city is determined by valuation of property in the city; population
and number of calls made in each city.
Medina could share the services of an investigator through a separate arrangement
even if the entire program was not accepted.
Mayor Johnson stated that their philosophy of policing is public safety, not merely
to make arrests.
Robert Mitchell reported that the City of Plymouth is not interested in providing
service to Medina.

service.
