Frank.Anthony.Nappi, 11233 E. Valley.Blvd.;.ET.Monte;. , commented on the harrassment by the Temple City Sheriff Department and requested the support of the Rosemead City Council. He stated there was an investigation being held regarding the matter by Capt. Butler. Councilman Taylor stated that he felt that any type of harass- ment by the Sheriffs in Rosemead should be checked into, but what- ever took place at the Temple City Sheriff's Department Rosemead cannot assume responsibility. Robert Kress, City Attorney, stated that the State Law pro- vides that each and every police agency including the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department establish a procedure for the investi- gation of citizen complaints. He felt that Captain Butler has provided Mr. Nappi with a copy of those procedures and instructions with the forms that were sent him. If this incident took place on the 15th of December, obviously there has not been sufficient time for an investigation.to be fully conducted on this matter. He,also, recommended that the Council urge Mr. Nappi to contact Captain Butler at the Temple City Sheriff's Department and make all his concerns known and that the Council will request that Temple City Sheriff's Department apprise the Council of the conclusion of the investiga- tion of this matter. This recommendation by the City Attorney was agreed upon by the City Council. .
