T0: MAYOR & VILLAGE COUNCIL
FROM: RAY HOWLAND, VILLAGE MANAGER
SUBJECT: COX & PALMEk ARBITRATION SETTLEMENT
DATE: MAY 7, 1985.
It--is my understanding from a brief conversation with Herb Gildan
today that the .attorney for Ed Cox has offered a settlement which
includes an immediate $15,000 cash payment, $1,000 or $2,00(J per
month to pay off-the balance, plus the payment of full attorney's
fees. and .interest. If Herb can get this together in writing by
Thursday he will-bring it to the Council meeting. If that is the
case, I would definitely recommend that we put it on the agenda.
for discussion. So far this is better than the zero we have been
batting with Cox and may be the acceptable route; however, we will
wait and see what we have Thursday evening.
