Body
As part of reviewing space needs for various City Operations, Facilities Management was asked to prepare a report looking at the current state of the Madison Police Property Section.

The MPPS also needs to maintain inventory controls and provide services for supplies, fleet and equipment.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Common Council hereby accepts this report and its recommendations;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Common Council requests that staff report back to Council by June December 1, 2008 regarding how the recommendations in the report can be implemented.
