Shafter City narrows shuttle plan buys one van

Two-way radio upgrades totaling 8,470 were approved to modernize city communications. Police Chief Kaplan signals a future need for a second police frequency as maintenance concerns rise. Wayne and Jo Ann Davis' two $100,000 claims were rejected as meritless.
