A special meeting of the Bryant City Council was held Tuesday to discuss Midtown Overlay District and negotiations to improve emergency first responder broadcast capabilities.
Bryant City Attorney Josh Farmer discussed a settlement that the city has reached with the Midtown Improvement District.
He explained the history of the lawsuit the district had against the city. The city was sued but in 2017 the improvement district filed bankruptcy. It was released from bankruptcy late in 2019 and the suit was sent to the courts.
He said this past Friday both parties came to an agreement he calls a win, win.
Farmer said while Mayor Allen Scott has the executive authority to sign the agreement, he still wanted to bring it to the council because there would be ordinances, including one he brought during the meeting, the council will need to pass.
