Karen & Adam Taylor's Request for Consideration to the Columbia City Council - July 20, 2009

In April of this year, the Columbia City Council voted to remove mobile video cameras from downtown. On June 6, Columbia resident Adam Taylor was brutally attacked and beaten in a downtown parking garage by a group of seven teenagers. The attack was captured by a city-owned video surveillance system installed in the garage.

At the July 20, 2009 City Council meeting, Adam Taylor and his family made a formal request that the council hear public comment at a future meeting and reconsider the camera proposal. The Council voted 3-4 to deny their request.
