CITY/COMMISSION ATTORNEY report:
Settlement Agreement - Clayton, Williams & Sherwood (Rancho Feliz Mobile Home Park Purchase)
City/Commission Attorney Flitner reviewed this item discussed previously this evening in closed
session prior to the regular City Council meeting. The remaining concern has to do with a
portion of money that is owed to the City. The issue was over the hold harmless provision prior
to the purchase date, whereby they were to have the responsibility before the purchase date of
November 31, 1995, and the City thereafter. They are now the City to be responsible
regardless of the date. Mr. Flitner further explained the possible options to consider for this
item but recommended the Commission try again to retain the terms as signified in the initial
purchase agreement and, if that fails, then attempt to rewrite the language to be neutral thereby
not giving Clayton, Williams& Sherwood a defense if challenged. Commission concurred..
