‘Read more’ for other items on the agenda for tonight’s Clinton City Council meeting including settlement of a lawsuit against the city
Also at tonight’s Clinton City Council there will be a proposal to settle a legal action involving a couple of Clinton Police officers.
The additional resolution is for a settlement in the suite titled Terry Best versus the City Of Clinton, Officer Lucas Bray and Officer Daniel Sager.
In the suit, Best claims that on September 12, 2012 the officers entered his home without a warrant and arrested him. In the incident, Best claims, the officers tackled him and he was injured.
The settlement is for the city to pay Best six-thousand dollars and each party will pay their own attorney fees and costs.
City legal counsel Patrick O’Connell says the suit was filed before he started working with the city. He says he was briefed on the case but did not handle it. O’Connell said with the small award he would recommend approval of the settlement.
The resolution is on the consent agenda for the meeting tonight.
The council will also reconsider making 2nd Avenue South a three lane-with the middle turn lane. The council earlier rejected the idea, but Council member Tom Determan wants to reconsider the idea on a temporary basis with a two year review period included before a final decision.
A three year contract with the fire fighters union is also on the agenda for approval.
