Council approves settlement authorization on QMC development after executive session
Summary
The council approved Resolution 1883 authorizing the mayor to enter into a settlement agreement between developer QMC (Cortera/QMC) and neighboring property owner David Grampa; city attorney said the agreement contains no monetary obligations by the city and the council met in executive session under RCW 42.31.110(1)(i) before voting.
City Attorney Joanna briefed council on a settlement among the developer QMC (referred to in the record as Cortera/QMC) and a neighboring property owner, David Grampa, related to a previously approved mixed‑use project that had pending appeals. Joanna said both private parties executed the settlement and requested council authorization for the city to enter the agreement and for the mayor to execute it. She stated that, based on staff review, the settlement contains no monetary obligations for the city and primarily confirms that approved items remain within the scope of the original permits.
The council recessed into a 10‑minute executive session to discuss litigation with legal counsel pursuant to RCW 42.31.110(1)(i); after returning to open session, a council member moved to approve Resolution 1883 to authorize the mayor to sign the settlement and the motion passed by voice vote. City staff indicated the city attorney and staff participated in negotiations and recommend approval.
