Town attorney: settlement funds received and related lawsuit dismissed

At the May 11 meeting the town attorney reported that the settlement funds the council approved at previous meetings have been received and deposited into the town’s accounts and that the associated lawsuit has been dismissed by joint stipulation.

The town attorney provided the update during the attorney report and also informed the council that he and Town Manager Charlie Smith plan to attend the annual municipal law seminar next month; the transcript lists the dates as "June 25th and 6th," which appears inconsistent and may reflect a transcription error or a misstatement in the meeting.

The attorney said the dismissal is joint and that the settlement funds referenced at prior meetings have been deposited; the transcript contains no further details on dollar amounts or the identity of the parties to the suit. The council acknowledged the report and no further action was recorded on the item during the meeting.

Next steps: none recorded beyond the attorney's report and planned seminar attendance; the transcript does not record any related votes or budget adjustments at this meeting.
