Prior to adjournment, Dr. Alperin brought up the matter of the
Prescott Settlement which the Commission had voted on at the
March 23, 1993, regular meeting. He stated that he had read in
the newspaper this morning that there is no settlement and
inquired as to the status of this matter. The City Attorney
stated that there is a settlement which is exactly the same as
what was approved by the Commission on March 23rd; that is,
settlement of attorney's fees in the amount of $5,000 in exchange
for voluntary dismissal with prejudice of the case. Mr. Kurtz
advised that Mr. Silver, attorney for Mr. Prescott, had indicated
that he would pick up the agreement and sign off on it on Friday
morning, March 26, 1993.
Mayor Lynch suggested that the situation with respect to the City
Attorney's office and the departure of Mr. Kurtz on April 12,
1993, be discussed at the goal setting session for the Attorney's
office scheduled for March 26, 1993, at 2:10 p.m., in order to
provide direction as to how the Commission would like to proceed
in this regard.
The City Manager advised of a situation existing on Lake Shore
Drive, going out to the Playhouse, where the canal comes up to
the street and dead-ends, where the seawall started to collapse
yesterday. In the Comprehensive Plan, one of the things that did
not get identified for funding was seawall repair, although we
have quite a few of them in poor condition. In this particular
instance, it can probably be replaced with rip-rap which would be
a more permanent solution. The City Manager will keep the
Commission advised as staff reviews the situation.
Mayor Lynch declared the organizational meeting adjourned at 6:40
p.m.
