162 COUNCIL MEETING April 22, 1985 Page Two life. As far as I'm concerned Pete is a good guy. I just think half the things weren't even entered in here. I would like to know in regards to the incident, I've got a letter from Mr. Camp- bell stating that Officer Hammes worked in all regards of the law. First point, the man was out at my house at 7:00 in the morning. He talked to my wife, he hardly said nothing to her, pushed her around. When they came back at 1:00 they had ample time. We've talked to some people at the attorney general's office, we've gotten a lot of workout in the last few weeks. The Police Offi- cers had ample time to come out to our house with a search warrant if they wanted to search our house. How Mr. Campbell can now spread a report stating he acted professionally, I think concerns every person in this community because if that is the profession- alism that is allowed around here Sir, it is not professional. Mayor Benson told Mr. DuFour he is talking about agenda item #10 and it will be covered under that agenda item. Mr. DuFour said, I will not be able to come and speak about this then, I have work ahead of me yet tonight. Mayor Benson said if this is that im- portant to him he should forego the work and be here for that agenda item. Mr. DuFour said, I want to know why these tickets haven't been dropped giving, you know, you guys deal because I can't finish my house. It has already cost me $300.00, I've got a possible $1400 fine, 90 days in jail, 120 days in jail, for what? because these guys want to bust into my house and give us tickets in our living room? Mr. Kulaszewicz said, wait a minute; Mr. DuFour said, this is the truth sir. Mr. Kulaszewicz said you are rambling on here, and said he and the Council are well aware of what happened at his home and what has happened in the past. He told Mr. DuFour he has been given a lot of leeway by the Council and he asked Mr. DuFour to stick to one topic. Mr. DuFour said, I pay my taxes, my taxes are high enough, you guys rambled on here one day for half an hour about receiving money just to go to work. Now I have an opportunity to ramble if I so desire. Mr. Kulaszewicz said the Council also has an opportunity to cut you off. Mr. DuFour said, I am working on my house, when I'm through with my house I'm not embarrassed to say my house will be one of the nicest houses in the neighborhood and I'll be more than happy to pay my taxes on it. OK, I'm through with the house subject, matter of fact if I can't fix my house because of these tickets, I have to take out a permit in another three years and tie it up for six years, because it is going to cost me $2000 for these silly tickets that you gave me in my living room and my wife has had so much stress from this situa- tion, she has stress from her injury before and now these tickets are driving her to the grave. I'm serious. Mayor Benson said this would be talked about later tonight. He asked if Mr. DuFour had anything else to say about the minutes. Mr. DuFour said, I want to talk about the Park fees. Mayor Benson said the Council is not going to talk about Park fees tonight. Mr. DuFour said, the Park fees, I want to talk about how illegal they are for everybody to pay and some people don't have to pay. Mayor Benson said Mr. DuFour has talked about this before. Mr. DuFour said he would stick around for when the thing comes up.
