1. The Taunton Gazette - Choice derails police plea on mechanic

Charles Crowley, the DPW subcommittee chairman, endorsed the hiring of a mechanic as a future cost savings.
"To have adequate staff with an aggressive maintenance schedule, you won't have the costly repairs there are now," Crowley said.
The $16,000 expense to buy and install a gasoline accounting system at the DPW garage on Ingell Street would yield small monetary savings to the city, Crowley said, but would have other benefits that make it worthwhile.
"The advantages are overwhelming from an accountability standpoint and security standpoint," Crowley said.
The system, to be bought from the East Providence-based John W. Kennedy Co., would utilize a magnetic smart key for each vehicle that checks odometer readings from one fill-up to the next to ensure the driver, the vehicle and the mileage match up.
A nearly identical system is used in Stoughton, Cornaglia said, and in the Bristol County Sheriff's Office, where Crowley is the director of fleet management services. -

Although Nichols' supervisory authority is already clearly spelled out in the city charter, recent events led the council to take action to reinforce the existing chain of command, Councilor Charles Crowley said Wednesday.
...
"We had to do something," said Crowley.
Crowley said DPW employees and division heads who do not follow Nichols' orders are not only violating the city charter but will also be defying a council directive, which could result in disciplinary action.
"Division heads need to honor the chain of command," said Crowley, a member of the Department of Public Works Committee.
He said the commissioner has the authority to decide how best to use employees, vehicles and equipment to get the most productivity.
Crowley said Roache or any other division head cannot act independently of the DPW commissioner. -
