Commissioner Carlson told Mr. Sadegh that they are trying to understand his complaint. They can only deal with his official complaint. His complaint is that someone on the bus, at the behest of the police, said he would smack him on the head. Mr. Sadegh stated that the police is in his life. He got a call that the fire department was called. When he asked for the name of the man who called, they said it's confidential. He went on to talk about a newspaper article about sex offenders. He told the commissioners that they should be paid so they would be under the control of the Mayor. ACTION ON COMPLAINTS • Consideration and Investigation of Complaints ✓ HPC 17-24: Commissioner Carlson stated that they read extensive written and verbal testimony from Pastor Williams. They have no jurisdiction over the Sheriff that he complains about. From what he's read and from testimony, it's difficult to find sufficient evidence.

Vice Chair Hendricks seconded, and it carried unanimously. ✓ HPC 17-25: Commissioner Buckman motioned to accept the complaint for investigation. Commissioner Carlson seconded, and it carried unanimously. ✓ HPC 17-26: Commissioner Buckman motioned to refer the complaint to the Police Chief for further investigation.
