Item 38 Passedunofficial
Authorize an offer of judgment in the matter of Glen and Mindy Shield v. City of Austin (Case No. 1:25-cv-01210) (WDTX) and payment of the judgment if accepted.
This authorizes the City to make an offer of judgment in the federal lawsuit Glen and Mindy Shield v. City of Austin, and to pay the judgment if the Shields accept it. An offer of judgment is a legal move to resolve a case without going through a full trial. The specific dollar amount isn't listed in the agenda text, so the cost to the City would depend on the terms of any accepted offer.
