MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor, City Commissioners, City Manager, City Clerk
FROM: City Attorney
DATE: May 25, 2011
RE: Request for Emergency Meeting to discuss and possibly act on settlement of City of Shawnee v. Diane Coffman Trust, et al. and City of Shawnee v. Christopher Rick, et al.
After two days of mediation, we have a recommendation from the mediator that needs to be considered. I am asking that you consider this in an emergency session. If we do not resolve this matter by the end of business on Friday, it will be necessary for the City to expend significant funds with our experts and to take further depositions in these cases.
In order to prevent these wasteful expenditures of tax dollars causing a financial loss to the City, I request that the Commission meet as soon as possible to determine whether to accept or reject the mediator’s recommendations as authorized by 25 O.S. 304.
