Stonecrest approves $190,000 settlement and opts into national opioid remnant settlement
Summary
After an executive session, the council authorized a $190,000 settlement payment to Professionally Engineered Structures & Associates LLC tied to contract ITB 23‑107 and voted to opt Stonecrest into a national opioid settlement for remnant defendants.
Following an executive session on litigation and contracts, the City Council voted May 26 to authorize settlement of claims related to service contract ITB 23‑107.
A city resolution authorized the mayor to execute an assignment and assumption agreement and a mutual release of claims related to the contract and approved payment of $190,000 to Professionally Engineered Structures and Associates LLC to resolve potential litigation connected to that contract. The resolution language read in open session described the action as a settlement and mutual release; council approved the resolution by a 4–0 vote of members present.
The council also approved a separate motion to have the mayor sign on behalf of the city to opt into the national opioid settlement for six remnant defendants. Councilwoman Carmisha Smith moved the opt‑in authorization and the motion passed 4–0 with one member absent. No additional funding figures for the opioid settlement were provided in open session.
The council did not provide further details in open session about the factual basis for the ITB 23‑107 dispute; the settlement language authorizes mutual release of claims in exchange for the agreed payment. Staff indicated the matter had been discussed in executive session and brought forward for public vote to authorize execution of the settlement documents.
