Unidentified Speaker 3 moved and the City Council approved a negotiated settlement in Case No. 1394 and authorized the city manager to execute the settlement, the council announced after a roll-call vote.
The council recessed to deliberation and determination on Case No. 1394 at 06:31. The presiding officer read the applicable Everman code chapters and the 2018 International Property Maintenance Code as adopted in city ordinance, and identified the properties under review as multiple Paradise Apartments on Corey Road (addresses cited in the record).
