PLYMOUTH — It’s official now. The Marshall County Sewer District Board will conclude any current
business and then dissolve by a unanimous vote of the County Commissioners and Council on an agreement to end the dispute between the bodies.
In an agreement outlined for the County Commissioners and Council on Monday by Commissioners’ Attorney Sean Surrisi, the Sewer Board will conclude any business within a 60-day timeframe. All legal claims held by either side in the dispute will be released, including the current action by the county against Sewer Board President Tom McFadden and the Sewer Board appeal of the Indiana Department of Environmental Management’s action dissolving the District, and no future actions will be considered.
If any actions of any of the parties involved were to be investigated and found to be illegal, the agreement would allow the other to pursue civil action.
The county also agreed to cover the $5000 deductible for 6 years of insurance coverage for litigation against any individual member of the board.
Neither side in the dispute admits any wrongdoing as part of the agreement.
Both Commissioners and Council also voted unanimously to purchase the current bond of the district, which could be in the neighborhood of $1.6 million.
