Shenandoah supervisors authorize $500,000 settlement in Day et al. lawsuit
Summary
After a closed session on litigation, the Board of Supervisors authorized County Administrator Evan Vass to settle Day et al. v. Shenandoah County for $500,000 and obtain title insurance for the property at issue; the motion passed unanimously.
The Shenandoah County Board of Supervisors on May 26 authorized the County Administrator to settle Day et al. v. Shenandoah County with a payment of $500,000 to the plaintiffs and to obtain title insurance for the property involved, with settlement terms to be set by the administrator in consultation with the County Attorney.
The action followed a closed session held under Virginia Code §2.2-3711(A)(7) and (8) to consult with legal counsel about specific legal matters and probable litigation. Vice Chairman Dennis Morris moved to authorize the settlement, Supervisor Mark Dotson seconded the motion, and the board approved it by unanimous roll-call vote (Tim Taylor, Mark Dotson, Dennis Morris, Kyle Gutshall, David Ferguson, Steve Baker voting aye). County Administrator Evan Vass was explicitly authorized to finalize terms and to procure title insurance for the property at issue.
The board reconvened after the closed session and certified that only the matters identified in the motion were discussed during the closed meeting. The settlement ends the litigation identified on the agenda as Day et al. v. Shenandoah County.
