County Settles Roads Inc. Lawsuit Over Nine Acre Catfish Pond
June 20, 2008
The Escambia County Commission quickly and quietly approved a settlement in a lawsuit with contractor Roads, Inc. Of Northwest Florida of a catfish pond that has been years in the making.
Roads, Inc. sued the county after the county pulled the project’s storm water permit in February, effectively putting an end to the project in the Cantonment area.
Under the settlement, Roads, Inc. will have six months to finish the project they say will be a catfish pond. Dump trucks and other equipment will be allowed to enter and exit the property only two days during week from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.
The stormwater permit indicates that the catfish pond will be nine acres in size.
The commission approved the settlement on the recommendation of County Attorney Alison Rogers 5-0 with no discussion at their Thursday night meeting.
