Councilman Lyle K. Frehafer said the department has on hand "more than 3,000 rounds" of ammunition... "plus shotgun rounds."

"That's more than sufficient ammunition," Frehafer said. "I think we are overboard." He suggested some of the ammunition be returned, but Police Chief William F. Clark said it was needed.

Clark defended the purchase, saying that the department uses it for mandated qualifications with firearms - members must be able to hit what they shoot at - and for practice.
