âI know thereâs been a little bit of talk about not refilling my position when I left,â said Brockett.
He said that decision was made by Ontario Police Chief Steven Romero.

Ontarioâs mayor is not willing to pay the civil penalty that was handed to him in November regarding an ongoing issue with weed overgrowth for a property on Southeast 11th Avenue owned by his company Eldorado Investments, a local company which invests in real-estate projects. The reason: technicalities â seven of them to be exact.
In documents filed with Malheur County Circuit Court on Jan. 11 on behalf of Riley Hillâs Eldorado Investments to appeal the $500 fee, seven procedural errors by the cityâs Code Enforcement Department are alleged, including that he was not the person responsible but that it was a squatter. Additionally, he says the property had already been cleaned up by the time he got the penalty.
