out of the driveways and the possibility of emergency vehicles not
being able to access the street. Several of the petition signers
were present.

is supposed to be no parking so this will have to be changed.

PENDIN~ LITIGATION
DAKOTA RAIL
The City Attorney reported that Judge Fitzgerald has ruled that the
City's motion for Summary Judgement was denied. The City also
asked to consolidate the condemnation and the other litigation
which was also denied. This means the City will have to go forward
with two separate lawsuits. The City Attorney also explained that
since the Summary Judgement was denied he and probably Mr.
Underwood will be deposed. There will be another lawyer involved
to try the case.
FLACK VS CITY OF MOUND
The City Attorney reported that the City Staff and members of his

They are now trying to assemble that and put it in a responsive

weeks.
