Mather Blvd. and Bear Hollow Drive from Arthur Coon, January 25, 2023, and a second relating to an oral threat of litigation from representatives of Elliott Homes that the potential City action on the Logisticenter Project will result in litigation by Elliott Homes against the City relating to certain of its Stone Creek properties).
17. OPEN SESSION - REPORT FROM CLOSED SESSION
Adam Lindgren, City Attorney:
"This evening, the City Council met in closed session with legal counsel and litigation counsel and directed the City Attorney to report out of closed session the following:
'The City Council has received highly credible threats of litigation from Dermody
Rancho Cordova City Council - MINUTES
Meeting of Monday, March 20, 2023
and Elliott Homes relating to the City Council's direction on March 6* to have staff draft findings of denial for the Logisticenter warehouse project in Stone Creek for consideration at a future City Council meeting. If it goes to trial, the combined litigation could expose the City to in excess of 100 million dollars of total liability.
The City is continuing to prepare findings of denial on the Logisticenter project, but it must take very seriously these threats of litigation and the potentially significant impacts that the litigation could have on programs and services throughout the City. The City Council expects the hearing on Logisticenter to resume in April for possible final action. At that time, the City will also be exploring options for potential voluntary acquisition of one or more of the properties owned by these developers'
That concludes my report out."

Mayor Budge adjourned the meeting in memory of Marjorie Boulton and Ronnie Rom at 10:21 p.m.
