Obviously,this is not the optimal way to run any organization and I ask that you furnish me with a date certain as to when the requested personnel changes can take place, which will restore the ability for the police department to operate as intended. 'Referencing nmyprior email ofAugust 2'.2O11/nd youremail response '' of August `3, 2011,' concerning Lie ( � Cabrera, as I informed you, Lieutenant Cabrera still shows asthe Deputy Chief of Police in the city's system, when infact .1 requested and was granted permission in November 2010, to roll him back to'his civil service rank of lieutenant, something that he also requestdinwridn0. Inessence, the police department staffing reflects Deputy Police Chief and three Assistant Police Chiefs, for which we are not budgeted and I do not need..l reiterate my previous assertion that Mr. Cabrera either returns to the police de . partment as a lieutenant, or he resigns his position in the police department and -is rehired as an Assistant City Manager.
