COMMENTS: This aareement can be sianed by the Chief because it has to do with enforcin
department policy and not an actual "contract" for services. I noticed the date of the agency's
signature is from 2009. Amber explained that is the date the new director took over and is the
only date available at this time. Legally, it is still fine to sign it if we cannot obtain a more recent
signature. I have initialed next to the signature on the agreement because there is not a line for
an attorney's signature.
