Regular City Council Meeting Monday, November 6, 2017 Page 2 At the request of Mayor Roe, City Manager Trudgeon clarified that the property owner had initiated litigation in an action against the city related to ongoing mat- ters back and forth between the two parties, as detailed in the RCA. In further response to Mayor Roe, City Attorney Gaughan clarified that all other parties to the agreement have executed it, with the last step action by the City Council to accept the negotiated provisions. Councilmember Laliberte expressed appreciation for background information for the benefit of the public; and further expressed her interest in hearing public comment on this issue. Public Comment City Manager Trudgeon noted receipt of written comments in the form of a letter dated November 6, 201 7from Wayne Jennings and Joan Sorenson, 1996 Langton Lake Drive, #418, attached hereto and made a part hereof, asking for an imme- diate timeline for removal of the trailer yard.
