resulted in a settlement agreement. The city's legal counsel and the LMCIT are
recommending that the Council approve the settlement agreement
Motion by Jacobson, seconded by Trude to move the settlement agreement. Motion
carried on a 4-yes (Knight, Gamache, Jacobson, Trude), I-no (Orttel) vote.
Motion by Knight, seconded by Jacobson to adjourn. Motion carried unanimously.
