Sarah,

Opposing counsel just sent over a few redlines on the proposed amended order approving the settlement and plat reconfiguration. Please confirm receipt, review, and let me know if you approve the edits. This is just an amendment of the prior order the Judge demanded last February and it is what Gaddy, whom you requested, suggested to push through the plat reconfiguration. It has now been more than 6 months and we are risking a motion to enforce/contempt which I want to avoid.

As previously stated, once we send the attached to the Court and the expediter brings it to the City for approval, we can file a motion to enforce and seek sanctions/fees. If we don’t move this forward, you are put in a very risky position as the Judge made herself abundantly clear last year at the hearing that we need to do everything possible to finalize this.

The expediter has been on hold for months. As for the City Attorney, we have communicate via phone and simply waited on the amendments from him. I also understand that you have been in communication with him claiming that the FOIA/open records they provided were not in compliance. I’d ask that you refrain from making such allegations to the City Attorney as, again, it could hinder the resolution.

Can we please schedule a call on this so that we can discuss and get back on the same page. As you know, I have advocated for you every step on the way. At the same time, we need to comply with the law and the Court’s clear direction.

This should be a top priority.

If I do not hear back from you on the proposed order by next Friday, I will still need to send it to the Judge and can note that it is under your review. This is to protect you from any potential sanctions.

Sarah,

I hope all is well and that you have a wonderful holiday season ahead. I wanted to follow up on the Order, which was entered earlier this year, as amended by the attorney for Brookhaven so we can move this forward. Have you reviewed? Do you approve the changes? It doesn’t change anything with the Order already entered, but it does push this forward without pushback from zoning/planning which has been a huge holdup for the plat reconfiguration.

I really need a response on this. We need to engage with the city attorney and the Judge so we don’t look like there is any bad faith delay with the settlement agreement.

Thank you in advance.
