PUBLIC COMMENTARY - RESERVED TIME
PATTRICE MAURER - JOKES
Pattrice Maurer, 513 S. State Street, reprimanded members of the Council for continuing to
consider hiring a city administrator candidate after it was revealed that the candidate joked
about wife beating. Maurer said that after all of the years of workshops and educational
programs participation and the approval of protective ordinances, she felt despair that
Councilmembers failed to understand the gravity of the candidate's remarks, and its effect
on women who may be in a spousal abuse situation.

Safiya Khalid, P.O. Box 130654, named police officers, a judge and real estate companies

by her in a civil rights complaint, and as a result, she is being stalked by the police.
