About 18 months ago, the San Bernardino City Council voted to allocate $75,000 to San Bernardino Police Chief Mike Billdt to start a Police Activities League.

I heard through the grapevine that the Executive Director of the program James Frink was no longer leading the program.  So, I submitted a public information request seeking information regarding his compensation and seeking information about Operation Phoenix disbursements.

Unfortunately, I was not given any information about program expenditures and only received Frink's contract and payment information. 

According to the information I was provided, it appears that Frink became a contract employee with the City on February 4th, 2008 and his contract was terminated on July 2, 2008.  During this period, Frink received $20,000 in compensation (for five months worth of work).

Apparently, nobody is leading the program.  At least, I haven't seen any media coverage of the program and its continued existence.

So, what do taxpayers have to show for this program?  From my understanding, a couple of field trips to amusement parks.

Some league...
