Council approves survey and appraisal in FOCO property litigation
Summary
After an executive session on litigation with the FOCOs over a right-of-way to the sewer pond, the council authorized obtaining an accurate survey and appraisal to support the city's defense.
The St. Martinville City Council voted July 21 to obtain an accurate survey and appraisal in connection with litigation filed by the FOCOs seeking to terminate the city's right-of-way that provides access to the sewer pond.
The council went into executive session to discuss the litigation; upon reconvening City Attorney Allan L. Durand reported on recent developments and recommended that the city obtain a survey and appraisal to support its defense. Councilwoman Flo Chatman moved, Councilwoman Janise Anthony seconded, and the motion to obtain a survey and appraisal carried unanimously.
The minutes record the council's authorization for those steps but do not disclose details of the litigation, the requested surveyor or appraiser, or estimated costs.
