Dear Members of the Common Council:

Pursuant to a decision mutually reached between the Council and
the Administration at a Council Caucus in August 1976, a final attempt
was made to reach settlement of the pending Gilmer Park annexation
case. An offer was made in writing to the attorney for the remon-
strators setting forth the proposed terms acceptable to the City of
this settlement. This offer has been rejected by the attorney for the
remonstrators.
The Administration now believes that it is in the best interest
of the City if the litigation of the pending case is discontinued.
One of the alternative legal procedures for terminating this litigation
is a repeal of the original annexation Ordinance by the Common Council.
After repeal of this Ordinance the City then proposes to petition the
court for a dismissal of the pending litizat;nn.
Very truly yours,
( p k/ Par �e�
