COMMIS 10 ESTEVE
Wooden greed, ying that Acting
Police Chief Cyril Fuller w doing
good job, nd there houldn't be no
rush in hiring El worth.
Commi ioner Arnold Smith aid
the newly elected Mayor and Com
mi ion hould be the ones to decide
whether they wanted to hire
Ell worth or not, beca they were
going to be the ones making the
decision.
Commi ioner George Wysinger
made a motion that the city put a
freeze on hiring and salary raises
until the first of the year, but the
motion did not p , because Mayor,
William Wolf motioned to table it.
"I want to table the motion and let
the new administration deal with that
policy (hiring and raise ) i ue, "
Mayor Wolf said. '
During Citizen Comments, city
resident Elliott Washington asked
the commission if they had called
any churches in Pontiac, in the area
. where Ellsworth erves and checked
into his background.
"BA VE WE LOO at his
records to see if there were long list
of charges of brutality to the Black
public," W hington ked the com
mi ion.
"The, Black community, have had
long tanding problem with
relationships with police depart
ments, so thi houldnt't be some
thing that you hould rush into. Thi
i omething that take time and
don't cost a lot of money",
Washington said.
Washington tated that, in his
home town of St. Louis, Missouri,
"the police chief was giving hi of
ficers orders to top Blacks with
newer model cars. We don't need
this type of brutality in the City of
. Benton Harbor. So therefore you
have to really scrutinize who you get
in here. That's a po ilion that you'll
want someone in there that doe n't
have a personnal problem with the
people that they are going to serve,"
he said.
He pleaded to the commission to
take a long look at Ellsworth' back·
ground before they make any kind of
decision.
