University City insurance defense counsel Peter Dunne notified me that the six U- City officials named--Mayor Joseph Adams; Police Chief Charles Adams; Police Officers Thomas Carney, Terrence Lott, and William Linenweber and John lawsuit Mulligan in the lawsuit. The basically alleges that Cedric Turner was falsely accused and arrested for possessing and attempting to make a purchase with counterfeit currency at the Walgreens store at 7501 Olive. It is my understanding that Mr. Turner was detained for nearly an hour during a counterfeit currency report investigation, but he was released after it was determined by Walgreens that the currency was not counterfeit. The First Amended Petition, which was recently filed, alleges in Count V that Mayor Adams, Chief Adams, and the City Attorney "are responsible for the administration of the City of University City Police Department in a fair, legal and even handed manner, free of any racial bias, discriminatory treatment by its officers, and illegal practices and or practices." Mr. Turner seeks an injunction "compelling [us] to allow [him] to be free of any discriminatory and or negligent treatment by Defendants." In other counts, Mr. Turner seeks $100,000 in compensatory damages, $20,000 for attorney's fees, and punitive damages in an unspecified amount, against the Defendants.

Metro's appeal of Judge Vincent's March 15, 2006 Order and Judgment on the Green Space has been set for trial September 5, 2006. As you may recall, Judge Vincent ruled that Ames Place Subdivision is the owner of the Green Space and MetroLink is entitled to damages for the taking associated with the construction project. Metro's attorney said the appeal is pending and will not be decided before the trial date. She indicated that she will need Park Maintenance Supervisor Ewald Winker and possibly Zoning Administrator Frank Hill to testify at the trial. Mr. Mulligan and she discussed possible interest in an agreement to resolve any outstanding issues between University City and Metro with respect to existing easements, as well as University City's support of Metro's position in the Green Space litigation. Mr. Mulligan informed her that he would first check with me on the outstanding issues. It is my understanding that Council does not wish to join Metro against Ames Place and therefore we will not participate in the negotiation on the remaining items. annual auction The University City Police Department will hold the of unclaimed property on Saturday August 26, 2006 at 11:00 A.M. on the Police Department parking lot.
