The following legislation will be considered for passage under suspension of the rules this evening: First Reading: Resolution 2019-54, Ordinance 2019-55 and Resolution 2019-57. REPORTS Mayor Kennedy: • No Report. Director of Law Gareau: • At a previous meeting I mentioned there had been a lawsuit filed against the City and somehow a claim was made against the City. It was a situation that involved a tenant and a landlord. Somehow Building Commissioner Jeffrey Grusenmeyer was named in it. The City asked for a judgment on the pleadings, which was granted and the case was dismissed. It was some crafty litigating by a pro se individual and it was needless. Thankfully, the judge immediately took the City's motion and granted it. • There was a meeting held last Friday at Springvale regarding some of the issues there. A total of 15 people were at the meeting, many of whom were lawyers. It was a very productive day and I think it went very well. The meeting was focused on the issues and I hope it will be resolved quickly. The City went in with the right level of expertise needed. My hope is we won't have to go further than another meeting or two. I will get into more detail with Council as the situation hopefully comes to a close. Director of Finance Copfer: • I want to thank Council for allowing me on the Streets Tour. It was very informative. Sometimes you just get behind the numbers and you don't get out
