Scurlock, Jr. <br />Vice Chairman Patrick B. Lyons <br />Comm. Richard N. Bird SUBJECT:Factsheet on County <br />Liability under Federal <br />Comm. Margaret C. Bowman Anti-trust Laws <br />Comm. William C. Wodtke, Jr. <br />FROM: REFERENCES: <br />Gary M. Brandenburg <br />County Attorney <br />Attached please find a brief summary of legislative activity on <br />county liability under anti-trust laws. Please note that the <br />materials point out that a recent federal court awarded $28.5 <br />million againsta county and their representatives and a city and <br />their representatives over a dispute involving the extension of <br />sewer lines. This liability is joint and several meaning that the <br />party awarded the judgment can pick who they desire —to collect the <br />judgment from and can collect it all from that one party. This is <br />an area of law that is sure to explode on a local government level <br />if the Congress does not resolve the issue soon.
