City administrator: Riverside property remains in litigation; several steps remain before settlement

During council comments on Aug. 18, the city administrator updated the council on the Riverside property matter, saying the case remains in litigation and that he has a scheduled meeting with the judge on Sept. 3. The administrator listed outstanding tasks including spreading dirt on site, approving a grading plan, pulverizing existing asphalt, paving an eyebrow at the end of Truax, and completing a land-swap acquisition. He said those components must be completed before the global agreement will be fulfilled. Councilman Peruggieri had asked for the update; the administrator said litigation remains active and the city continues to work toward the agreement’s remaining steps. No formal action was taken during the meeting; the administrator’s remarks were informational and reflect ongoing legal and development processes.
