Re : City of Okeechobee v. DCA Reuandent, and Okeechobee
County, Intervenor, DOAH Case No. 92-4909GM7
Dear Karen:
The purpose of this letter is to confirm the details of my
telephone call earlier today to your secretary concerning the
cancelling of the depositions of the Department ' s witnesses which
had been noticed for August 26 -27 , 1993 in the above-referenced
case. Please notify Tony, Arleen and John that they will not be
needed t. this time .
On Tuesday evening, the City Council voted to approve and
execute a stipulated settlement agreement with the County. John
Cassels appeared before the Council and said that he would
recommend that the County Commission approve and execute the SSA at
a special meeting to be held no later than August 31 , 1993 .
Cassels has represented to me that he will provide you and I
with a copy of the executed SSA as soon as possible in order that
we may obtain the Department ' s approval and execution also . It is
my understanding that after receiving the executed agreement, I
will then prepare a draft of an agreed upon motion for abatement
with the SSA attached, which we will file with the hearing officer
as soon after August 31, 1993 as possible .
I look forward to expediting the settlement of this case with
both of you as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
UL 6 (iii )141
Michael Wm, Morell
