City attorney says lawsuit filed appealing denial of village rezoning; case now in discovery
Summary
City legal counsel reported a lawsuit was filed on Nov. 1 appealing the council's denial of a village rezoning; the city filed a timely answer on Dec. 4 and the matter is in discovery with counsel expecting activity in the next two to three months.
The city attorney updated councilors that a lawsuit has been filed appealing the denial of a rezoning request for the village. Counsel said the complaint was filed Nov. 1 with service acknowledged Nov. 4, and that the city's answer — prepared by the city's insurance-provided attorney — was filed on Dec. 4.
"A lawsuit was filed as an appeal for the denial of the rezoning for the village. It was filed on, to get the dates right, on November 1, and we acknowledge service on November 4. Answer to the complaint was filed on behalf of the city... on December 4," the attorney said. Counsel added the case is in discovery and, after the holiday lull, expects it to become more active in the next two to three months and promised to provide more detailed reports to council and executive staff as the litigation proceeds.
No substantive legal strategy or settlement terms were discussed in the public work session; council members were informed this is now an active case and will receive updates from counsel as appropriate.
