For your information:
The Town of Waukesha is pleased to announce it has entered into a Settlement Agreement resolving the litigation initiated in February 2011 by the Town of Waukesha against Eric S. Jacobson.
This settlement fully releases the Town from the last two years of a three year Snow Removal and Ice Control contract entered into by the previous Town Board shortly before the recall election held July 2010.
The contract entered into in June 2010 included a change which removed the Town Board's ability to control the costs of the services provided and placed that control in the contractors hands with the following contract language: "The Contractor is an independent contractor, for all purposes, and shall have full control of the Contractor's activities, and the right to exercise independent judgment as to the time, place and manner of performing Contractor's obligation under this contract".
In previous contracts the language read "Contractor agrees that the Town Board shall have the right, at all times, to direct the manner and method by which snow removal and ice control shall be done by the Contractor under this contract, and Contractor agrees to abide by all orders issued by the Town Board in that regard."
The Town’s concerns related to the litigation are delineated in the Settlement Agreement finalized by the parties last week which calls for a payment in full of $297,500 on billings from the 2010-2011 season of $355,477 and no payments of interest or attorney fees.
The Town of Waukesha Town Board reserves any further comment, confident this information and the Settlement Agreement speak to the issues and reflect a positive resolution for the Town of Waukesha.
The Settlement Agreement and related documents are available on this website under the left navigation bar ‘Current Topics’ - scroll down to 'Snow Information'.
