(MSJ). On 2/24/20, Judge Koenig denied the County's MSJ and the County
appealed. On 3/9/22, the Third DCA affirmed the denial of the County's MSJ,
on the grounds that there were triable issues of fact in the case and therefore

court. On 7/25/22, AshBritt issued a settlement offer. On 8/31/22, AshBritt
issued a revised settlement offer, which was discussed with the BOCC in closed

attorneys' fees and costs in favor of the County in the amount of $217,159.86. The
parties are still in mediation. At Wi-Fi's request, Fortress Secured LLC submitted a
public private partnership (P3) proposal that would serve as the basis for settlement.

County removed the action to federal court because the litigation presents a federal
question. On 7/12/22, the County filed its motion to dismiss and in the alternative,
motion for a more definite statement. On 7/26/22, Plaintiff filed its response to that
motion and a motion to remand back to state court for lack of a substantial federal
