Mayor Fred N. Carmen <br />Page 2 December 27, 1988 <br />In your case, the indictment is only a finding of probable cause based on <br />the prosecutor's evidence alone. However, if the evidence on the other side <br />indicates that you acted in good faith, then the Municipality is required to <br />provide representation according to our Charter as well as State law. <br />Based upon representations made by you as well as my conversation with <br />the others involved, there is substantial evidence that your actions were <br />taken with due caution and in good faith. Such determination was made on <br />the following: <br />1. The Ohio Ethics Commission was consulted before Doug <br />Paul was appointed; <br />2. The £ormer Law Director, Dale Feneli, was consulted <br />before Paul was appointed; and <br />3. Your relationship with Paul was discussed openly <br />with Council prior to his appointment. <br />Based upon these facts, I£ind that your actions were performed with due <br />caution and in good faith. Consequently, the Municipality has a legal duty, <br />pursuant to our Charter and State law to provide representation for you. <br />It is my hope that this assists you in the final resolution of this <br />matter. If I can be of any further assistance, please contact me. <br />Si erely yours, <br />?Aac.,?, <br />Fred P. Ramos <br />FPR/pak
