Litigation schedule set for 455 and 465 Middlefield Street; plaintiff brief due mid‑April
Summary
The committee was briefed that the plaintiff (Mr. Sweet) must file a brief by mid‑April in the litigation over 455 and 465 Middlefield Street, the city has until mid‑May to respond, and oral argument is expected this summer; staff reported difficulty reaching the state's attorney for coordination.
The Mayor's Code Enforcement Committee received an update from the Office of General Counsel on ongoing litigation involving 455 and 465 Middlefield Street.
The chair said the plaintiff, Mr. Sweet, has until mid‑April to file his brief; the city then has until mid‑May to file its response. Oral argument is expected sometime this summer, committee members were told.
Committee members also discussed difficulties getting a response from the state's attorney who assists with zoning and housing matters. Code enforcement staff said they have tried to reach Donna Parker without success. The chair suggested escalating the outreach — including having the mayor contact the state's attorney's office — if staff continue to be unable to secure the needed communications.
No new legal actions were voted on at the meeting; the committee agreed to continue monitoring the litigation schedule and to revisit coordination steps if attempts to contact the state's attorney remain unsuccessful.
