The Mayor asked the Acting City Administrator to read in
full the letter from former Azusa Police Officer Arthur
Hernandez, dated 3/20/70. In this letter, Mr. Hernandez
requested reimbursement for 50441 hours spent in court, on
his own time, at the salary step at the time of his resig-
nation from the Azusa Police Department on 10/18/69.
These appearances in February of 1970 were in connection
with a civil suit for false arrest, assault and battery
(Curtis vs. City of Azusa, Azusa Police Department,
Arthur Hernandez, et al.) The Summons and Complaint
in this action were served on the City on June 3, 1968.
The Acting City Administrator also read in full a letter
of reply from the City Clerk to Mr. Hernandez, which
stated the request cannot be granted inasmuch as his
appearances were personal defense and were made when he
was no longer employed by this City.
