"DELHI INCIDENT" (Continued) <br /> <br />in the incident involving the Recreation Leader, City officials had been <br />anxious to hear both sides of the story but in the incident involving the <br />lifeguards, only the lifeguards' reports were considered without hearing <br />the boys' version of the incident; and that it is important to always hear both <br />sides of the story. <br /> <br />Mayor Griset stated that the City is vitally concerned that things are properly <br />done at the park; and that obviously there are problems involving personalities. <br /> <br />Mr. Richard Reyes stated that lighting for Delhi Park had been promised by <br />the middle of July and asked when it would be installed. <br /> <br />Mayor Griset asked the staff to report on this. <br /> <br />Mrs. Rios stated that there had been delays in the park development. <br /> <br />Councilman Patterson requested that Mr. and Mrs. Rios prepare a list of the <br />promises and commitments that have been made regarding park development; <br />that a copy be filed with Mr. Robert Portillo, Community Relations officer, and <br />with the Clerk of the Council for inclusion on the next Agenda, August 17; and <br />that the staff provide a report for the Council regarding the items listed. <br /> <br />Mr. Andrias Zuniga, from the Delhi Community, described an incident in <br />which he had taken a group of approximately 40 boys on a tour of the police <br />station with the permission of Police Chief Allen. He stated that as soon as <br />they entered the door, on of the policemen had remarked, "W.~ the hell are <br />you guys doing in here?" "Come here you so and so~s''. He identified the <br />officer responsible for these remarks as the sergeant seated in the rear of <br />the Council Chambers. <br /> <br />The City Manager stated that this was a direct accusation and insisted that both <br />men be given lie detector tests. <br /> <br />RECESS At 6:35 P.M., the meeting was recessed <br /> to 7:30 P. M., at which time it was reconvened <br /> with the same Council members present. <br />Following the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag, the Invocatinn was delivered by <br />Reverend Leslie F.
