Summary

After an executive session, Stonecrest's council voted 5-0 to approve a settlement with Metro Green, resolving years of litigation; city attorney said the company will not operate at the contested site under the agreement.

Stonecrest City Council voted unanimously Jan. 28 to approve a settlement and release agreement with Metro Green, ending protracted litigation over the company's operations.

The agreement was approved after the council met in executive session to discuss litigation and related matters. City Attorney Denmark told the council the litigation is currently stayed and that the administration pursued a negotiated settlement. "They presently do not operate," Denmark said, and under the settlement "they will not operate at that site again." Council members voted 5-0 to approve the settlement.

The settlement resolves claims the city had been prosecuting against Metro Green in multiple courts over several years, Denmark said. He said the city initially initiated the litigation and directed the attorney's office to pursue the case; the negotiated resolution brings a conclusion to those proceedings.

Councilman Terry Fye made the motion to approve the settlement; the motion was seconded and carried on a roll call vote. Denmark said the city will determine how to disseminate the settlement details after the agreement is fully executed.

The administration said it will provide further public documents once the execution is complete. For now, the council recorded the vote and the settlement will be implemented according to the terms of the agreement.
