The City Council of Centerville, Minnesota met in a closed session on Wednesday,
September 14, 2005, at 9:25 p.m. in City Hall at the conclusion of its regular meeting.
Present were Mayor Mary Capra, Council members Richard Terway, Michelle Lakso,
Tom Lee and Jeff Paar. Also present were Administrator Dallas Larson and Jim Hoeft of
the City Attorney’s office. The purpose of the closed meeting was to hear a proposal for
settlement relating to the lawsuit with Royal Oaks Realty, Inc.
City Attorney Hoeft reported that the opposing party made a settlement offer of $50,000
payable on October 1, 2005. The attorney explained that the City received two favorable
rulings from a judge regarding the case. Most significant is the fact that attorney fees are
subject for consideration at trial as provided for in the developer agreement. The Council
was not impressed with the settlement offer, especially in light of the recent court
decisions.
The meeting was reopened to the public at 9:35 p.m.
A motion was made by Council member Lee that the Council reject the settlement offer
of Royal Oaks. Motion seconded by Council member Paar, all present voted in favor.
The motion was declared passed
The motion duly passed to adjourn the meeting at 9:40 p.m.
Dallas Larson, City Administrator
