<br />Forum, was read:
<br />
<br /> "It has been s~ggested by some Councilmen that the city look into the matter of payin~
<br />the legal fees of the police officers charged with-misconduct while working for the city.
<br />This body would like to go on record as being opposed to this action, because we feel
<br />they were not indicted on charges connected with performance of their duties, but acrivi-
<br />ties outside of their regular duties, to cite an anology if a city employee was charged
<br />with stealing a television while on duty would the city consider paying his legal fees?
<br />
<br /> We further feel this would set a dangerous pr6cedent that the city wo~ld not be
<br />willing to continue. In light of the above reasons mentioned, we strongly urge the Counci'
<br />to g~ve careful consideration to this matter before voting in the affirmative."
<br />
<br /> Motion of Mr. Holley and seconded by Mr. Early, to be received as information was
<br />adopted by unanimous vote. '
