Anacortes council authorizes settlement agreement in Shadow Creek lawsuit
Summary
The Anacortes City Council voted unanimously Feb. 3 to authorize city attorneys to execute a stipulation and agreement that would resolve Shadow Creek Investments LLC and Jared Barth v. City of Anacortes, currently in the Court of Appeals; terms of the settlement were not disclosed in the meeting record.
On Feb. 3 the Anacortes City Council authorized city attorneys to execute a stipulation and agreement to resolve Shadow Creek Investments LLC and Jared Barth v. City of Anacortes, Court of Appeals case No. 86285-5. Councilmember Walters moved to authorize execution of the agreement; Councilmember McDougall seconded. The motion carried unanimously.
City staff described the item as a negotiated settlement intended to resolve the appeal currently before the Court of Appeals. A staff member summarized the recommendation by saying, “Before you is a settlement agreement … that would resolve the matter of Shadow Creek Investments versus the city of Anacortes, which is a case that's currently at the Court of Appeals right now.”
Council members voted verbally in favor. The meeting record does not include the settlement terms, monetary amounts, or other conditions; those details were not read into the public record during the council meeting. The item had been added to the agenda as an amended Item 3(a) and followed an executive-session notice that the council met to discuss potential litigation under the statute cited on the record.
No further motion or follow-up schedule for public disclosure of the settlement terms was provided during the meeting.
