Council authorizes settlement agreement in development appeal involving QMC and neighbor
Summary
Council approved Resolution 1883 authorizing the mayor to sign a settlement between the developer (referred to in the record as QMC/Quartera) and neighboring property owner David Grampa; city attorney said the agreement contains no monetary obligations for the city and council approved it after a brief executive session.
Council on July 13 authorized the mayor to sign a settlement agreement resolving an appeal of permits for a mixed‑use development, staff said.
City Attorney Joanna told the council that the developer (referred to in the meeting record as Quartera or QMC) and neighboring property owner David Grampa had reached a signed agreement and that "none of which are monetary on the part of the city," and that city staff recommend approving entry into the settlement. She asked the council to meet in executive session to discuss litigation matters under the statute cited in the record. The council recessed at about 7:36 p.m. and returned at about 7:46 p.m.
After the executive session, Council moved to approve Resolution 1883 and to authorize the mayor to execute the settlement agreement; the motion passed by voice vote. The city attorney said the settlement preserves the scope of the original permits as issued to the developer and does not require direct city payments. The resolution and the settlement agreement will be available in the city clerk’s office per normal public‑records practice.
The record contains several variant spellings and references to the developer (Quartera, QMC, and Cortera appear in the transcript). The council’s action was limited to authorizing the mayor to sign the agreement; no further actions or financial commitments by the city were recorded at the meeting.
