City of Dryden departments continue to find ways of finding savings.
They have been told that total capital spending this year won’t exceed $1.5-million, forcing them to cut back.
Police Chief Doug Palson says he’s managed to get his budget down to about $40,000.
Palson says upgrades are needed to the building and jail cells and notes a fresh coat of paint could be used.
Palson adds he would like to equip cruisers with GPS technology and would ideally like a $50,000 contingency fund for emergencies, items that Palson says aren’t critical in the grand scheme of things.
