Closed session minutes – 10-8-01
The attorneys set up discovery period, for the federal court case with First Unitarian Universalist Church.
If we were to agree to anything, they would have to drop state case and would want it to happen in the federal court.
Health permit on the temporary buildings expires in 2003.
Jesse suggested we try and push the federal case back 3 months, give them 1 month for plan B to be presented to the township and a final date of completion.
They should be smart enough that we won’t accept 5 years. Trailers must be out by date of completion of plan.
Plans to be filed by November 2, 2001 with a final date or they will need to pay for a special board meeting.
Returned to open session at 9:10 p.m.
