The San Bernardino City Council announced a $250,000 settlement in the lawsuit Maricel Escamilla v. City of San Bernardino after a closed-session review, the city attorney reported. Councilmembers voted unanimously to approve the settlement; Councilmember Sanchez made the motion and Councilmember Ortiz seconded it.
