Council approves settlement of several civil litigation matters
Summary
The council approved Resolution #2026-60 settling multiple civil litigation cases (case #08 WC 45652; 11 WC 2314; 11 WC 2315; 14 WC 25521). Corporation Counsel T.J. Somer stated he had consulted aldermen and recommended proceeding without executive session.
The Chicago Heights City Council voted to approve Resolution #2026-60 to settle a set of civil litigation matters identified by case numbers (08 WC 45652; 11 WC 2314; 11 WC 2315; 14 WC 25521). Corporation Counsel T.J. Somer told the council he had communicated with aldermen and therefore "believed that the city council could proceed to take action." The motion was moved by Alderman Vincent Zaranti and seconded by Alderman Kelli Merrick; the vote was recorded as ayes from Smith, Perez, Rodgers, Brassea, Zaranti and Merrick.
The minutes do not disclose settlement amounts or other confidential terms; the resolution references presentation for executive (closed) session and a supporting memorandum dated the same day, but counsel reported that no aldermen requested an executive session and the council proceeded to act in open session.
