“We have a philosophy of preparing for the worst and saving dollars well in advance for these types of situations and/or major expenses,’’ Inganamort said. “We are in a situation that is serious in every respect. It is in my opinion an appropriate time to utilize what we have been saving for when times get tough. I am referring to the fund balance.

They can schedule cases when police are on duty and we won’t have any excessive overtime.’’
