Can you provide a link to the "Hirsch v Dunwoody" settlement agreement?

Thanks.

Ken, under the advice of Legal Council I can't release at this time. It is currently on the consent agenda for approval at 7 pm but it only takes one council member to pull that off for open discussion, public vetting or deferral; and if I were you I would double down that it will not be finalized on consent.

A few packet documents were updated after the fact. They are the 2012 paving, the 2013 paving and the Road Stormwater Maintenance items. Check the original links.

The new item is the GEMA Grant and the link is below.

John,

Thanks.

Is there a document or training materials available that cover what can and cannot be disclosed by the City to citizens and under what conditions previously withheld information could be made available?

Thanks again.
