Item O17 BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY Meeting Date: 1/28/09 Division: County Attorney Bulk Item: Yes No -1L Staff Contact PersonlPhone #: Bob Shillinger. x3470 AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of settlement agreement in Monroe County v. Bender and Associates, P.A., et aI., CA K 03- 915. ITEM BACKGROUND: This case was filed to recover the costs arising from the defective windows originally installed during the renovations of the Gato building. On January 12, 2009, the parties attended a Court-ordered mediation session, which produced a tentative agreement which - if approved by the Board -- will result in a total payment of $550,000.00 to the County. Every party, except the County, has signed off on this agreement. Because of the Sunshine Law, the mediation rules authorize covered entities like the County to vote to approve or reject a settlement agreement at an open meeting held after the mediation session. If approved, the various defendants would pay their share within twenty days of being notified of the Board's vote. As a sign of good faith in its participation in the mediation process, the Commission previously scheduled a closed session to discuss any settlement with legal staff That session will also be held on 1/28/09. It is requested that this item be heard after the closed session; for that reason it should NOT be approved with the bulk items unless the Board wants to forego the closed session. PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: Board authorized filing suit in 2003. On 12/17/08, Board scheduled closed session to be held on 1/28/09.
