CALL TO ORDER
Mayor Hanna called the meeting to order with six Aldermen present.
ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITTEE
Mayor Hanna stated Alderman Chapman had asked if he would create a
committee to address environmental concerns of issues and report to
the Council. She stated she would like to be on the committee and

would like to have three or four aldermen on the committee.
Aldermen Vorsanger and Edens stated they did not want to be on the
committee.
ADVERTISING & PROMOTION COMMISSION APPOINTMENTS
Mayor Hanna stated the Chamber of Commerce was requesting
appointments be made to the Advertising and Promotion Commission.
The mayor is automatically appointed to the commission. He
nominated Fred Vorsanger and Woody Bassett to the commission.
There were no other nominations.
Upon roll call, the motion passed unanimously.
SETTLEMENT OFFER/TAYLOR CASE
City Attorney Rose stated that as the city's attorney, he is
morally obligated to bring any and all settlement offers before the
Council. A settlement offer has been made in the Earl Dean Looney
v. Dennis Taylor, Police Officer case. Ron Woodruff, attorney for
Looney, and Dan Bufford, attorney for Scottsdale Insurance, the
city's errors and omissions insurance carrier, are both present.
City Attorney Rose stated Mr. Looney was arrested in August of 1991
at a place called Chili Billy's. The case stems from the complaint
that the booking officer, Dennis Taylor, used excessive and
unreasonable force and held Mr. Looney in a "headlock".
December 9, 1992
Police Chief Watson investigated and eventually fired Mr. Taylor.
Taylor appealed to the Civil Service Commission. The Civil Service
Commission rules that Mr. Taylor had used excessive force; however,
they felt firing was too strong an action for the offense. They
reinstated Mr. Taylor after their recommended suspension time
period. Subsequently, Mr. Looney filed a civil suit claiming his
federal civil rights had been violated.
Rose stated there are two parts to a lawsuit: (1) liability and
(2) damages. The City is not liable for any of the use of
excessive force by Mr. Taylor because there is not policy or matter
of course by the police department in any way condoning excessive
force. Damages is the part of the suit that we are concerned with
in this case.
Damages are a weakness in the Looney case. He is claiming neck and
back injuries as a result of the claimed use of force. He has some
$8,000 plus medical bills. Mr. Looney's physicians have been
deposed, and some of them feel Mr. Looney may be exaggerating and
even malingering his injuries in order to get more of a settlement.
In addition, Mr. Looney's credibility could be questionable since
he has had previous back injuries and because he has a prior
criminal history as well as having been arrested during this
incident for drug and drug related offenses. He may have some jury
appeal in the fact that the police officer used force against him
and caused injuries.
The 1983 Civil Rights Law stated that if the plaintiff wins, even
if he is awarded only $1 in damages, his attorney fees will be paid
by the defendant. As previously stated, the City would not be
liable because there is no policy or custom of using excessive
force. However, Mr. Taylor, as an employee of the City, is covered
under the City's errors and omissions policy with Scottsdale
Insurance. There is a $50,000 deductible on this policy. In
addition to the deductible amount, the City has to pay its own
attorney fees.
Mr. Looney has offered to settle for $30,000.
Alderman Edens asked if the Council accepts the offer, who pays the
attorney fees.
City Attorney Rose stated the $30,000 to Looney would end the case
with him. Looney would use the $30,000 to settle all his debts,
i.e., medical bills, attorney fees, etc. The City would still have
to pay an additional amount to Mr. Bufford for his defense of the
case on the city and Mr. Taylor's behalf.
Alderman Bassett stated he would have to abstain from this vote
because his firm sometimes represents Scottsdale Insurance But,
he did offer that any time a case goes to trial, it is merely a
crap shoot because no one can ever predict what a jury might do.
t
J
December 9, 1992
He advised the Council to consider this risk. He felt under the
circumstances, the $30,000 figure was reasonable.
Ron Woodruff, attorney for Mr. Looney, addressed the Council and
stated this case was not to be intended in any way to be an
indictment against the police department or Chief Watson. His
client was not a previous felon, and is not as disreputable as
perhaps City Attorney Rose indicated he might be. The rule of
thumb in his firm is to try and get three times the medical bills
plus attorney fees, which in this case would make the $30,000
settlement offer in the ballpark. He feels his client definitely
has a good case and will win in court.
Dan Bufford, representing Scottsdale Insurance, addressed the
Council stating that there is obviously a problem with the case in
as much as it was a third party that filed the initial excessive
force charges and not Mr. Looney. Sgt. Stanley, of the
Fayetteville Police Department, was present during the booking
procedure and is the person who saw and felt the actions by Mr.
Taylor were excessive. Lt. Helder, of the Fayetteville Police
Department, was assigned the duty of investigating the complaint.
The FBI also got involved, and it was determined that unwarranted
and excessive force was used.
At this time, Mr. Looney filed his suit. One of the things that
has not been mentioned is the possibility of punitive damages.
They have not been discussed, but the award of them by the jury is
a possibility. He has been trying to determine exactly what
expenses this case will involve for the City and has been trying to
mitigate them on the City's behalf.
Mr. Bufford stated Mr. Taylor denies the use of excessive force.
However, the other officers stated he did use the force and this
does not make an easy defense. The emergency room report stated
Mr. Looney did have hoarseness and swelling in the neck and throat
area. Mr. Looney has also seen several doctors in the area, and
they have been deposed for this case.
Mr. Bufford stated the timing was a negative factor in this case as
well. Juries have not been looking favorable toward police
departments when dealing with alleged use of excessive force.
He and Mr. Woodruff have been working some time in arriving at this
mutually acceptable $30,000 figure, and he feels this would
probably be the best method of mitigating expenses for the City.

Alderman Vorsanger stated he would like to have City Attorney
Rose's recommendation to the Council.
City Attorney Rose stated he recommended the Council accept the
settlement offer.
Alderman Williams stated he too would be abstaining, as Mr. Taylor
was an ex -brother in law.
There was discussion about the voting procedures. With six
aldermen present and two abstaining, there would only be four
aldermen to vote. Therefore, it was decided the Mayor would be the
fifth vote in this issue.
Alderman Miller stated he felt this was a pretty clear cut case
with a civil rights violation, and he felt the settlement offer was
acceptable.
Alderman Bassett stated there was not necessarily a civil rights
violation. This has yet to be determined by a jury.
Alderman Edens stated he would rely on the City Attorney's advice.
Vorsanger, seconded by Odom, made a motion to accept the settlement
offer.
Upon roll call, the motion passed by a vote of 5-0-2, with Aldermen
Williams and Bassett abstaining.
RESOLUTION 181-92 AS RECORDED IN TEE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE
City Attorney Rose stated that in the little over three years he
has been with the City, this is only the third civil rights case
there has been. They are rare occurrences and he commended the
police department and Chief Watson for the fine job and training
they provide to their staff which enables them to avoid lawsuits.
Alderman Williams stated by settling this suit, the City is not
• admitting liability.
December 9, 1992
Alderman Miller asked if the officer had received any counseling
after he had been reinstated to the department.
Chief Watson stated he had received additional training and
supervision.
Ben Mayes stated the Council needed to approve a budget adjustment
for the payment of this offer. The money would come from the
General Fund.
Vorsangsr, seconded by Odom, made a motion to approve the budget
adjustment.
Upon roll call, the motion passed by a vote of 6 to 0.
