Minutes

Mr. Williams requested a Motion regarding Action Item 4.1, to Approve Settlements.  A motion was made by Mr. Perez and seconded by Dr. McBride.  The Board then discussed the motion, notes are as follows. 

Discussion - Mr. Perez and Dr. McBride asked how much the District has spent in legal fees on this case.  Mr. Nadeau indicated that we use the attorney's office for multiple legal services, so we would have to pull the invoices to determine the cost, but he believed the District has spent approximately $100,000 in legal fees. 

Mrs. Stephey asked why the settlement agreements did not total the amount listed in the Consent Order.  Mr. Nadeau explained that the company was or is filing for bankruptcy and the individual is personally paying and requesting a lesser payment arrangement and settlement.  Mr. Nadeau indicated that the additional legal fees that would result from taking the case to trial would likely outweigh the return.   

The Board approved the settlement agreements as presented by a unanimous vote, 5-0.
