Greg, just wanted to follow up on our conversation and ensure everyone was aware that
the City has received the original Settlement Agreement executed by Marvin and Steve
Brantley.
Once the Mayor signs the agreement, does this need to be recorded at the county clerk
of co u rt?
If yes, does it need to be done before May 4? (which was the sheriff sale date in order to
stop the sale?)

Dear Ms. Butler,
The sale in the above noted matter does need to be postpone as payment of the judgment has been received. We have
not received a copy of the signed Settlement Agreement so we are simply asking to postpone the sale.
Thanl<you!

The proposed terms of a Settlement Agreement was approved by City Council but it has not been entered into yet and
thus as of today, there is no settlement. The sale is to proceed.
