At a call meeting of the Board of Commissioners held it. the Commissioners,
Cha::!ber at the City Hall, Paducah, Kentucky at 1:00 o'clock P.M. on the 84th day of
::ov,:rber, 1956, ::ayor Washbarn presided a!:d upon call of the roll the follo'�,ing
a::swered to their names: Commis:.ior_ers Hannin, Lockwooc, Melton, Pulliam and Mayor
:;as:hburn (5).
'.:ayor Washbarn stated reason for call, to -wit: For the purpose of prefer-
ring charges against a city employe and to transact such other business as may properl
co:;e before the board.
i
::cyor Washburn offered the following motion: On November 19, 1956 at a
Corp, call meeting, Cor,:oration Counsel V.I. V. Eaton, publicly stated that the ordinances
Co.insel
Eaton -' passed by a former administration were prepared by him and by him recoo",Mended to the
City
Fa_;ager' ad.Tinistration for enactment; that at the time he approved said ordinances, under
irstru- r.
cted to which there was borrowed £65000.00 from the City National Bank, ::hich sum is now in
prefer ,
chargesl, litigation, that said ordinances were not valid because the money was not used for
governmental purposes. He further stated that he would do the same thing again if it
could be put over; that if permitted to handle th case without special counsel, he
would win the case for the City of Paducah.
i!
g 'dr. Eaton's public statement has had the effect to destroy all confidence
Nthat the Board of Commissioners may have for his honesty of purpose in dealing with th
Board, thereby endangering the Boardts action in dealing with public matters.
I now move that the City .tanager, L. V. Bean, be instructed to immediately
prepare charges against the said Y:. V. Eaton as Corporation. Counsel, charging him
with cc,:duct unbecoming a:: employee of the City of Paducah, and that by reason of his
conduct, he is no longer of value to the City of Paducah, as such employee.
