VISITORS: WEBSTER JACKSON addressed the Council and read a statement of alleged conduct by members of the PaSCO Police Department. He felt that residents of East Pasco were victims of discriminatory practices and cited three instances of personal grievance. Councilman Fletcher supported Mr. Jackson's statement by adding that most residents in the East Pasco area hesitate calling the Police as they feel nothing will be done about their complaints. He further stated that equal consideration should be given across the border. DETECTIVE RICHARD MUMPER, Pasco Police Department, felt that he had never prejudiced any individual regardless of race, color, or creed, nor had he witnessed such action by other members of the Department. He stated that lack of sufficient time, shortage of officers, and the probability of an accident in one location, often detain response to complainant's calls. He felt that officers made many contributions to their community other than law enforcement. LIN McNEILL stated that he felt there was still some racial prejudice in area and supported Mr. Jackson's statement. At this point, the City Attorney defined the difference between a middemeanor and felony. Also, he explained the proper procedures to constitute an arrest. W.T. JONES, Special Police Consultant, felt we had lost concept in delving into the technicalities of the process of law. He complimented Detective Mumper for his views and attendance. Mr. Jones further stated, in his opinion, that we are dealing in a situation whereby we must form a community relations concept and an officer assigned full time to this concept, working with all our citizens at a conversation level, and out of conversation level will come understanding, and out of understanding will come relief of some of the problems that are before the Council. 430 CITY OF PASCO MINUTES OF THE PASCO CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING OLD BUSINESS: JULY 169 1968 BILLS: The City Manager presented the following claims for City Council approval: FUND CLAIMS Current Expense Fund $ 69406.05 Cemetery Fund 294.07 Equipment Fund 419.40 Library Fund 407.74 Park Fund 367.33 Recreation Fund 593.07 Street Fund 119836.86 Golf Fund 562.75 Urban Renewal Fund 667.34 Water/Sewer Fund 139304.60 Yacht Basin Fund 2.00 L.I.D.
