February 23, 1975

CITY OF STOCKBRIDGE
HENRY COUNTY, GEORGIA FEBRUARY 23, 1975

The Special Meeting of the Stockbridge City Council was held February 23, 1975 at 7:00 p.m. with Mayor
Hart presiding and all Council members present except Jim Butcher.

H. S. (Roy) Whittington and Ted Lowe were present to discuss the abolishment of the Investigation Bureau.

Mayor Hart advised the Council and Mr. Whittington that the purpose of this meeting was to decide whether
Mr. Whittington had been unjustly treated in the process of abolishing the Investigation Bureau. He further
stated the meeting was not to discuss charges and counter charges against the Police Department and if this
was to be done, it would be done at a later date in another manner. This department was implemented on a
three months trial basis and the City could no longer carry this expense.

Mr. Whittington brought out that his services were terminated in a letter dated February 19, 1975 and he was
paid through that date. After discussion, Council agreed to pay two weeks severance pay. Motion was made
by Ross McMichael, seconded by Steve Nix, motion carried.

Respectfully submitted,

Merle Manders George W. Hart, Jr.
City Clerk Mayor
