Judge Stone Finds that the Bandon City Council Violated the City’s Charter
The following quote is from the plaintiff’s attorney:
“The court ruled in our favor on our motion for summary judgment and agreed that the City must abide by its Charter. I’ve attached the decision. Once we file and the court signs the General Judgment the city will have 30 days to appeal. If it does not appeal, it will have to restore sewer and water fees paid above the 1994 levels. If it does appeal, and keeps the existing fee schedule we will ask the court to require the city to post an undertaking committing monies or letters of credit to pay refunds in the event it loses the appeal.”
