SPECIAL MEETING - MONTICELLO CITY COUNCIL
July 28, 1980 - 6:30 P.M.
Members Present: Arve Grimsmo, Dan Blonigen, Fran Fair, Ken Maus, Phil White.
Members Absent: None
Bernard Boland, attorney for the City of Monticello relative to eminent
domain procedures involving Ruff Auto Parts, Inc., explained the pro-
ceedings involved and the Tenth District Court award relative to this
matter.
According to Mr. Boland, he explained that in his opinion the decision was
a compromise verdict relative to the actual award granted to Ruff Auto
Parts, Inc. Mr. Boland indicated that the City of Monticello could make a
decision to appeal the award in the amount of $30,500; however, he recommended
that the City settle for the amount determined. According to Mr. Boland,
if the City appealed to the supreme court and the City of Monticello were
to win, a new trial would be ordered.
After reviewing the matter with Mr. Boland and his recommendations, it was
decided by the Council on a motion by Phil White, seconded by Fran Fair and
unanimously carried to pay the damages awarded by the Tenth Judicial Court
of $30,500.
Meeting adjourned.
