City Attorney Joanna briefed Council on Resolution 1883 and recommended approval of a settlement between the developer (referred to in the briefing as "Quartera or QMC") and neighboring property owner identified in the resolution text as David (transcript entries show variant spellings such as "Grandpa" and "Grampa"). Joanna said the parties had signed the settlement and that no monetary obligations were required of the city.
