Ferguson continued from page 1 announcing the appeal. “I believe that public trust in policing in Portland depends on all Council members demonstrating that we are committed to implementing the Agree- ment fully. I accept that responsibility.” Meanwhile, the city is in the process of hiring a Com- pliance Officer /Community Liaison to monitor progress of the agreement. Three finalists have been interviewed and the city has asked the public to com- ment on the hire. However, the Mental Health Associa- tion of Portland has called for a new recruitment effort saying the city failed to advertise the quarter of a million a year position widely enough. Just 12 resumes were sub- mitted for the position. Beck- Ester Neda West M rs. Ester Neda West was born on December 31st 1933 in Linden, Texas.
