Officials say settlement talks are underway; town hall on 'Gunter' to follow when disclosure allowed
Unidentified Speaker 1 described a long-running matter (identified in the transcript as 'Gunter') that earlier administrations had not handled well and said the current parties were 'this close' to resolving negotiation and litigation. Speaker 1 said they hope to "get the full disclosure of the entire issue out to the public as quickly as we can" and proposed holding a town hall in a larger venue when release is permitted.

Speaker 1 thanked those who worked on the case and said the NSF had been involved. "It's settled," Speaker 1 said, while also noting technical and legal details still needed resolution. Other unidentified speakers described multiple complaints filed on related topics, some dismissed and four pending and confidential; one speaker said they had requested a formal hearing and would not waive confidentiality.

Officials repeatedly said they could not release full terms or documents because of ongoing negotiations and related legal constraints. They asked for patience and proposed a town hall to present comprehensive information when allowed; no timeline was given.

Several speakers referenced prior agreements that constrained the city: Mark Merrill said the previous agreement "gave up all of the city's rights" and defaulted dispute resolution to BNSF, and urged any new agreement be better. The meeting produced no formal votes, motions, or legally binding decisions about the settlement during the session.
