Summary
City Attorney Joanna reported that QMC and neighbor David Grampa have signed a settlement; Joanna said the agreement's terms are "none of which, are monetary, on the part of the city," the council held a 10-minute executive session under RCW 42.31.110(1)(i) to discuss litigation, and then approved Resolution 1883 authorizing the mayor to sign the settlement.
City Attorney Joanna explained the background and recommended approval of Resolution 1883, which authorizes the mayor to enter into a settlement agreement involving QMC (a developer) and neighboring property owner David Grampa (and related parties). Joanna said the resolution text provides the background and that the parties had reached an agreement and signed it outside the council process; she added that, based on city review, the city could agree to the terms and described them as non-monetary with respect to the city: "none of which, are monetary, on the part of the city."
Joanna requested an executive session under RCW 42.31.110 subsection (1)(i) to discuss litigation and the council recessed for a 10-minute executive session. After returning, the council moved to approve Resolution 1883 authorizing the mayor to execute the settlement agreement and the motion passed by voice vote.
