Nellesen, Deputy City Attorney <br />Date: August 9, 2016 <br />Re: City ofSanta Ana v. Vaish <br />Execution of Settlement Agreement <br />Ce. Sonia Carvalho, Hassan Haghani, Alvaro Nunez (w/o attachment) <br />(INTO(ti tZ/D1►1I <br />On October 2, 2015, the City of Santa Ana filed a civil receivership case against Pradeep Vaish, owner <br />of the property located at 2222 S. Ilene Street, detailing an extensive list of code enforcement violations <br />and seeking the appointment of a receiver to rehabilitate the property. Before a receiver could be <br />appointed by the court, Mr. Vaish completed extensive work on the property which brought it into <br />compliance. As the property was no longer in violation, the City's case against Mr. Vaish had become <br />moot. <br />The City's outside counsel, Matthew Silver, has negotiated with Mr. Vaish and his attorney to secure a <br />settlement by which the case will be dismissed. Under the settlement each party will assume their own <br />costs and release all claims. In addition, the City will release its notice recorded against the property and <br />retain payments made by Mr. Vaish (totaling approximately $8,000) for prior code enforcement <br />abatement actions against the property. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />The City Attorney's Office requests and recommends that the City Manager execute the attached <br />Settlement Agreement. <br />Attachment <br />
