Stanley asked what was

Nothing, Cash replied.
Jerry Brown, Gore,
wondered if each recreation
board member could tender his
resignation to the council and
then let the board restructure
its operations without going
through legislative
proceedings.
Cash said the council could
run the recreation department
if all board members resigned.
NOT “BAD”
Jessie Mann, another board
member, opposed abolishing
the panel, saying, “I don't
think the board has been that
bad.” She also suggested that
the council and board sit down
and work out their differences.
“I'm for getting down to
business and working this
out,” she said.
Robert ‘‘Lefty” Norton,
vice chairman of the recreation

Lawson’s Request Tabled
The Summerville City
Council has tabled until
February consideration of a re
quest that it reinstate a former
captain to the city’s police
department.
Mayor Sewell Cash had ad
journed the panel’s meeting at
9:35 p.m. MondaY when he
almost immediately called it
back into session.
He said he had overlooked
a manila envelo?(e containing
petitions that asked the coun
cil to reinstate Fred Lawson.
The council's past policy, he
said, was to table a petition un
til the panel's next monthly
meeting. That would give coun
cilmen time to review the re-
T\lest prior to taking action on
the proposal.
Summerville Probing Complaints
Against Two Police Officers
The City of Summerville is
investigating the validity of
complaints filed against two of
its police officers in unrelated
incidents.
One officer has been
suspended as the result of
criminal charges having been
filed against him by a Summer
ville woman. A second officer
has not been suspended but the
city is probinlg a civil complaint
against the lawmen.
Sgt. Houston London, a
veteran Summerville lawman,
was suspended with pay after
he was charged with ag
gravated battery against a
woman at his residence about
2:30 a.m. Sunday.
John Simmons, city
manager, said the Georgia
Bureau of Investigation (Ggll)
is assisting the police depart
ment in its internal investiga
tion of the incidents.
CONFIRMED
He confirmed that a civil
complaint had been filed
against Sgt. Barry Pless,
another Summerville officer.
Pless had not been suspended
as of Tuesdsay afternoon, Sim
mons said, pending a
preliminary investigation into
the complaint. Pless was charg
ed with conduct unbecomin,
an officer, Simmons confirmecf
No details of the alleged inci
dent were immediately
available.
According to a criminal
warrant obtained by Marcella
Stewart, 110 Seventh Ave.,
Sgt. London allegedly forced
her to go to his residence at 8
Willow St. at 2:30 a.m. Sunday.
London refused to let her
leave his house, the warrant
charged, and ‘“‘then grabbed
hold of (her) hair and pulled her
down on the couch, then pull
ed her left arm behind her and
grabbed her by the right leg
and twisted it very bad, ba
enough that Dr. nglefi' had to

Although no vote was
taken on the proposal by Coun

fiointed out that the council
ad taken the action last July.
RESTROOMS
Stanley said that after the
council approves the recreation
budget, it is in the hands of the
recreation board. ‘‘lf they say
you ain't gonna build them,
th?' ain't gonna build it,” he
told Mayor Cash.
Cash agreed that the recrea
tion board didn’t have to use
the funds.
OSbf‘: said he didn’t favor
use of the monfl' for restrooms
alone, but would if they were
built in conjunction with a con
cession stand-press box.
Stanley then moved that
the funds be taken from the
recreation department budget
and placed in the city’'s budget
to build the restrooms at Fair

seconded the motion, which
passed unanimously.
Lawson was fired on April
9, 1990 after being charged
with trying to hire a “hit man”
to kill his estranged wife. A
jury acquitted him in August,
1991, and Lawson moved to
regain his position as captain
on the police force. He was se
cond in command under the
chief.
His request was denied
then, first by City Managlfr
John Simmons and then by
Mayor Cash.
Lawson is still a certified
police officer, according to the
Georgia Peace Officers Stan
dards and Training (POST)
Council. The issue of whether
e should remain certified will
go before the council next
month.

Ms. Stewart said she was
walkin%la friend from her home
on Sixth Avenue when she was
approached by London and
another man, both also on foot,
Officer Robertson said. London
forced her to go to his home by
“slaning her on the left side of
her face near her chin and then
pushed her and she fell to the
ground,” Officer Robertson
reported. ‘‘He then pulled her
up by the jacket she was wear
ing and continually shoved her
until they reached the front
gate of his residence and forc
ed her on into his house.”
In response to an earlier
Tl]estion by King, Stanley said
the building inspector’s post
wouldn’t be full-time, so
Thomas could remain with the
police department.
NO REZONING
In other matters, the
council:
— Decided against rezoning
part of Union Street from R-2
multi-famili' residential to R-1
single family residential. The
vote was unanimous after
several people opposed the
proposal.
— Agreed to advertise all
future job openings in city

The Summerville City
Council agreed Monday night
to insist that city employees

Moments later, the council

proposal and urged the council
to adopt the measure.
Councilman Earl ‘“Red”
Parris said some employees
don’t know who their super

council meet with the
employees to tell them
personally.
‘“Yes, they do,”” Mayor

King’s motion was second

approved unanimously by the
panel.
Seconds later, Councilman
Parris brought up the case of
a city employee whom he said
was not making $8.40 per hour
as posted in a city job notice 13
months ago.
City Manager John Sim

that the pay was to not exceed
$8.40 dper hour, not that the job
would pay $8.40 per hour.
Mayor Cash said the
employee — later identified in
the meeting as John England
— was one of about 13 recom

year and all were rejected by
the council at that time. An in

by England’s immediate super

more discussion on the issue.
Enfiland said he was told
when he took the job that he

an apple on a ladder, England
asked, “‘How loniis it going to
take me to tget the apple?”’

Self wgether she would recom
mend the raise for England,
since she is one of his suger
visors. He also asked Sim
mons. Mrs. Self said she didn’t

ut said the council could act
as it wished.
The city manager said the
town has certain procedures it
has been following in such mat
ters. If the council no longer
plans to follow those g{o
cedures, he said, the office
needs to know. The posgx;fi

employees.” That was what
