Law Director Gareau reported: 1) Since the last council meeting, the judge has ruled on a request for a stay in the Cooper Case. Law Director had requested the court to stay judgment relative to back pay as well as the order to have Miss Cooper reinstated. Judge Aldridge granted the stay regarding the back pay order but did not grant the stay with respect to Miss Cooper resuming her normal duties. Mr. Gareau has prepared a brief and a motion, filed with the Sixth Circuit Court, and is awaiting a ruling. Had a two and a half hour telephone, four-way conference with the Sixth Circuit Court to determine what the issues are and whether or not any of them could be settled. 2) With respect to the Burger King Case, pending in Common Pleas Court, because the attorney failed to include the Attorney General as a party to the case, it was dis- missed; case was refiled and has already been before Judge Jones. Pre-trial was held last Friday; this past Monday the motion for summary judgment was argued before the court and preliminary injunction was also argued. Expects court's ruling in the near future. 3) Law Director and Mayor appeared at the Regional Transit Authority board meeting this morning; Mayor did a fine job of arguing the City's case; Law Director argued some of the legal aspects. Mr. Bierman, Chairman Long Range Planning Committee reported:, 1) Public Hearing on Community Development Block Grant Funds was held on May. 2nd; approximately twenty people in attendance as well as President of Council Boehmer, Councilmen Bierman and O'Grady. Roughly seventeen suggestions for the use of CDBG funds were made. Funding for fiscal year 1985 amounts to $68,827; seven years ago that amount was $117,000, so there is quite a bit of difference now in the funding.
