Lynwood board authorizes settlement in Sneed federal case; amount not specified in record
Summary
Trustees voted to authorize the village president to sign a settlement and release in Andrew Sneed et al. v. Village of Lynwood et al., Case No. 22-CV-00266 (N.D. Ill.); the board said the settlement had been negotiated by outside counsel and the plaintiffs.
The Village of Lynwood Board of Trustees voted on Jan. 14, 2025, to authorize the village president to execute a settlement agreement and release in Andrew Sneed et al. v. Village of Lynwood et al., Case No. 22-CV-00266, currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. Trustee David Lilly moved the resolution and Trustee Kirk Marshall seconded it; the board adopted Resolution #24-27 by unanimous roll call.
The meeting minutes state the settlement had been previously reviewed in Committee of the Whole and handled by an outside law firm and that "the settlement amount was agreed upon by the plaintiffs." The transcript does not list the settlement dollar amount or public comment on the settlement; that figure is therefore not specified in the meeting record.
