JUN 1 1983 4, F.17 <br />record, or that the convictions would not appear on his <br />record, and Mr. Ramsey stated he was confused at this point. <br />Commissioner Scurlock felt it was a question of mis- <br />understanding. <br />Mr. Ramsey stated that he didn't want this matter made <br />public, but now he has no choice but to inform the Board <br />that he has worked with the Sheriff's Dept. and the Police <br />Dept. in helping to make drug busts. <br />Commissioner Wodtke regretted the public revealment of <br />Mr. Ramsey's involvement with local law enforcement <br />agencies. <br />Discussion was held in regard to recommendation <br />procedures and it was noted that the Ordinance states that <br />the Sheriff's Office conducts the investigation and reports <br />any information available on the applicant that might affect <br />the eligibility for receiving a license. The Sheriff does <br />not make a recommendation for approval or denial. <br />Attorney Brandenburg stated that he had talked to the <br />Sheriff this morning on that topic and the Sheriff indicated <br />that in the future he will give the Board a written synopsis <br />from his office -of -the investigation that he has done as <br />opposed to supplying background information directly and <br />that procedure will become a part of the application <br />process. The synopsis will be forwarded along with each <br />permit request as a -matter of course. <br />Commissioner Wodtke asked Mr. Ramsey why he felt he <br />.needed a gun and Mr. Ramsey replied that certain people have <br />found out that he blew the whistle and now he needed a gun. <br />Administrator Wright noted that self defense is <br />sufficient reason to carry a gun. He has checked every <br />permit that.has come through and has sent back two because <br />they did not state it was for self defense; however, the <br />reason he recommended that Mr. Ramsey be denied a permit is <br />because of the false statement. <br />M <br />AM <br />
