City attorney updates council on Broadmoor Valley litigation, court actions under advisement
Summary
City attorney Pam Whitmore updated the council on multiple legal matters involving Broadmoor Valley: an LMCIT‑defended case with a December scheduling conference, a June 27 hearing with the Attorney General matter under advisement, and a Minnesota Housing hearing with a 90‑day ruling window.
City Attorney Pam Whitmore updated the Marshall City Council on several ongoing legal matters related to Broadmoor Valley, including court hearings and administrative actions.
Whitmore said the city's matter defended by the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT) is in a holding pattern; the parties have a scheduling conference set for December. She also said the city's earlier administrative abatement of specific units—previously paused during bankruptcy—is being revisited following the lifting of the bankruptcy stay as staff and counsel determine whether additional administrative action is needed.
Separately, Whitmore described two other matters: one brought by the Minnesota Attorney General and a separate matter involving Minnesota Housing. The Attorney General matter had motions on the pleadings and a hearing on June 27; the court currently has that matter under advisement, including motions on the pleadings and a motion for a new trial, and Whitmore said the case could continue into 2026 depending on the court's ruling. The Minnesota Housing matter also included motions on the pleadings and a request for an injunction related to a park-closing; the hearing was July 11 and the court has 90 days to rule, Whitmore said, so a decision was expected near the end of the year but before any scheduled park‑closing notice.
Whitmore said she and counsel remain available to answer questions but noted limits on what she could disclose in public session.
No council action was taken during the meeting; the update was informational.
