Council authorizes $40,000 settlement in Sedro‑Woolley v. Rodriguez case
Summary
The council authorized Mayor Kesse to sign a $40,000 settlement and release resolving the city's declaratory‑judgment case and the respondent's Public Records Act claim; the city denies liability and called the payment a compromise of disputed claims.
City Attorney Dan Curtis briefed the council on a proposed settlement to resolve Stanwood and Sedro‑Woolley v. Jose Rodriguez and a related Public Records Act claim. "We're requesting a motion to authorize Mayor Kesse, to execute the Stanwood and Sedgrawully v Jose Rodriguez settlement and release in full agreement with Jose Rodriguez for the amount of $40,000," Curtis said, presenting the agreement as a compromise that avoids continued litigation.
Council moved and seconded the authorization; the motion passed with no councilmember recorded in opposition. Curtis said the settlement is a compromise and that the city denies liability and wrongdoing as part of the agreement. The council earlier recessed to an executive session; staff reported no decisions were made during that executive session.
