I have developed quite a bit of information regarding the Arleth paid leave issue and have been able to confirm some of the information, and I am waiting for more confirmation. I have emailed City Administrator Teresa Sanders requesting comment. 

I have confirmed that the City Council has requested a briefing from Interim Chief Dobrow regarding the Arleth paid leave issue. I hope they also request a briefing regarding the Smithson issue.

Keep an eye on any news stories dealing with SPD moving a Precinct from Downtown to the Intermodal Center.
