According to Interim City Administrator Julie Flaten, the City Council met in closed-door session to discuss pending litigation Robert S. Kleis vs. the City of Hastings. After deliberation, the Council came back into open session and voted unanimously to approve a settlement agreement that will allow for the reduction of the assessment for the Kleis parcel in the amount of $1,171, and authorized the City Attorney to carry out that settlement. A timeframe to complete the settlement was not provided.
