FROM: Victor J. Westman, County Counsel KTKCoun
By: Kevin T. Kerr, Deputy County Counsel
srq C-
DATE: December 7, 1994
SUBJECT: North Concord Homeless Shelter
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
That the County Counsel be authorized on behalf of the Board
of Supervisors to enter further agreement with Memory Gardens, Inc .
that any limitations periods within which Memory Gardens must file
legal actions concerning the North Concord Homeless . Shelter be
tolled and extended until and through January 25, 1995 .
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
Memory Gardens, Inc. challenged the County' s North Concord
Homeless Shelter in Superior Court from December 1991 to May 1994 .
In May 1994, the Board of Supervisors, among other things,
certified an environmental impact report concerning the North
Concord Homeless Shelter. Since May .of this year, the County and
Memory Gardens have engaged in productive settlement discussions .
The Board previously authorized the County Counsel to toll and
extend any limitations periods within which Memory Gardens could
file legal actions until and through December 14, 1994 .
Tolling and extending limitations periods will allow the
settlement discussions to continue without the filing of a legal
action. If the dispute can be settled, there will be significant
savings for the County in avoiding legal costs .
