Is conferring with the insurance company's legal counsel, who basically tried the case, as well as Mrs. Crumbley's attorney to determine the final figures with respect to back wages, attorney's fee and damages. 2) City has also received an adverse decision in the Cooper Case. City initially lost the case in the district court; took it up to the Court of Appeals and re- ceived a reversal. Court of Appeals remanded it, instructing the judge to look at certain issues, and then decide the case again. Is not certain the judge did look at the issues as the court instructed since she has decided adversely again. After conferring with council, and on the Law Director's recommendation, the city will appeal this case to the Sixth Circuit Court.
