<br />AttorneyJ'.P. Gutierrez appeared before the Council with his client,
<br />Mr. Billy J. White. He presented a motion for continuance on the
<br />scheduled hearing to Mayor Taylor. The Mayor read aloud the document,
<br />attached as a part of these Minutes. Members of the Council discussed
<br />the matter, and directed some questions to Attorney Gutierrez. The
<br />Mayor asked the City Attorney for a recommendation. City Attorney Walker
<br />stated the Council had full power to approve or disapprove the dismissal
<br />of Police Sergeant Billy J. White at this scheduled hearing. In a court
<br />of law, the City Attorney stated, the first plea for continuance is usually
<br />granted, and addedl "I believe I would recommend a continuance be granted".

<br />Alderman Stokes enquired of Mr. White's counsel whether he understood that
<br />the December 9 meeting was the third hearing set, and whether he knew that

<br />Mr. Gutierrez indicated he had learned those facts that day.

<br />for him to prepare his client's appeal, Mr. Gutierrez agreed to a
<br />ten-day delay, Alderman Moore moved that the hearing be re-set for
