It is therefore requested that the <br />Board of County Commissioners authorize the Chairman to execute the attached <br />specific release. A copy of the complaint and settlement are attached. <br />Recommended Action: We recommend that the Board of County <br />Commissioners authorize the Chairman of the Board to execute the attached <br />specific release as part of a total and general settlement of the Citrus Utilities <br />lawsuit at no cost to the County. <br />Attachments <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED BY <br />Commissioner Ginn, the Board unanimously authorized the <br />Chairman to execute the specific release as part of a total and <br />general settlement of the Citrus Utilities lawsuit at no cost_to the <br />County, as recommended in the Memorandum. <br />GENERAL RELEASE IS ON FILE <br />IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD <br />7.E.
