'~Jilson addressed the Council to the effect that in certain cases that are tried before his Court wh ere the defendant enters a plea of not guilty and either asks for a Court or Jury Trial, the De- fendant has the right to a?~pear with an attorney, it makes it rather em- barrasing for him to act in the dual capacity of At~rney and Judge when the City does not have a prosecutor to represent the interests of the City; also it has occurred in some cases thaw t~^e City Attorney has appeared for the defendant which also makes it embarrasing for the Court. Jude '~`~ilson suggested that some one be assimne~ as -prosecutor for the City to repre- sent them when tYse occasion arises, ,^Tri ~~ r±?v not be very often, but one cannot tell. Cit;v Attorney Kennedy addressed the Council stating that he has appeared for defendants only when they were booked under the penal code and not for any violations of Oity Ordinances and then only in a couple of instances and this of ternoon to bring one point up for decision, stat- ing that he would be willing to serve in any capacity the City may choose. City Attorney read Section 880 wherein it recites "That the Chief of Po- lice shall act as prosecutor before the City Court, all breaches or vio- lations of or noncompliance with any ordinance which shal:~ come to his knowledged", however it was finally determined that he may appoint any at- torney to act in thatcapacity that he may choose or the Council may desi- gnate their desire. ~~r T~erei~non ~ t ~nras mot=e~ ~zr ro~mc it man MevP.r and seconded by Coun- cilman Daet~;reil~^r that tk~e C7_ttr Attorney be anTointed x~~osecutor for the City Court in all cases w'r~ere a defendant asks for either a fury or Court trial .
