More expenses for Melendez
I received some more documents showing how Melendez is abusing his position to treat himself to expensive personal equipment. In the latest documents that we have received we find that he has spent ~$700 on a cell phone and $1000 on a laptop computer. Should the citizens of McFarland be obligated to pay for all of this? Just because this guy can't afford to purchase his own communication and computer equipment, why should we bear the burden of this cost? I guess the trips to Las Vegas and Korea were not enough to fill his ego and make him feel important.

Rafael Thats no cell phone, thats a Palm Pilot cell phone combination. He doesn't need that.
That stuff should be preapproved.
Where is our city administrator? In Melendez's pocket,he needs to be fired also. I'm having a hard time with my Sunday lesson if you know what I mean,over this stuff.
Laptop??? Well thier goes the money for the City of Mcfarland's
new jet
I assume that since the city paid for these items that these items belong to the city. If Melendez is recalled, then these items will remain in the possession of the city and will be used by the next mayor. $1000 for a laptop is not outrageous. $700 for a cell phone is a little over the top, but considering the features of some of the Treo models, that is the going rate. A $1000 laptop is a mid-level laptop, not top of the line. I would have paid the extra $150-$200 to get an extended warranty to protect against repairs over the next 2-3 years.
I am in charge of operations, including Information Technology, for a small company. Yes, people use company laptops and cell phones for personal use as well as business use, but if someone leaves the company, their equipment stays with the company.
What's so bad about that? I would think it would be hard to find a mayor in the region who doesn't have a laptop and cell phone to use for city business.
I agree that a cellphone and laptop are items that every good mayor should probably have. I just have doubts that Melendez is able to put any of these tools to good use for work that benefits the city.
HATER!!!!
