}ayor Hussey: I understand the Charter. vfuen the fayor of the City
has an official duty in tb~s area he has the right to have the police
take him there. I have not used the police car except in the line
of duty. I don't propose to do othervuse. I don't understand vmy the
Council has taken this attitude. Our previous ~ayor used to drive the
Police Car any where he wanted to and called it official duty.
Councilman Seng: That car was bought for use of }~yor and Police
by former Council. -:0 have asked to have a sign that ''iould say
nCity of Edge\'later Car'! Hhich would give the JlJayor the right to
drive the car. He said he Houldn't drive it. Nayor Shaef'er
drove the car but never did take it outside of the City Liwits.
~fuen he \'lent outside he took his ovm car.
Councilman Pa~ateer: I vrould like to have the City Attorney look
up in the Charter Hhat authority the }ayor has over Chief of Police.
City Attorney Clark interpreted itm be: The powers and duty of the
fayor shall be as are conferred upon him the City Council in pursuance
of the provisions of this Act and no other. Section 15 of the City
Charter.

every day of the ''leek. It might be once a 1-leek, I had to go to New
Smyrna Beach and he had to go too. vias it necessary to use both cars?
Police Chief Deibler: I never took the Hayor anyvJhere except 'for
official business. }~. Deibler also stated that there are three
shifts of men working and they all leave reports that I have to do.
Insurance compa.'1ies request copies of r'cports, etc.
Councilman Siller: vfuo was the officer on duty last Saturday?
Police Chief Deibler: }~. Galbreath
Councih'an Siller: He had to impose on Hr. Galbreath because you a."ld
the Hayor ....Jere out of t01^m on business.
IJIayor Hussey: ~;le can call him any time we want to.
f~. Deibler stated that we have to be vulling to help them as Hell as
they must help us. He said we would have had to pay the Auxiliary Police
and that he v~s trying to cut expenses.
Councilw.an Siller: Questioned as to whether the l~yor couldn't have gone
be himself on last Saturday. He questioned as to why we didn't use the
Auxiliary Police.
JlJayor Hus s ey: You don't know why we "Tere in Daytona.
Councilwan Siller: You are then ,dthholding information from the Council.
