Title

Indian River County et al., v. United States Department of Transportation, et al.

Recommended Action

The County Attorney’s Office recommends that if the private citizens are able to raise the $200,000 necessary to fund the filing of a petition for certiorari by the end of February, then the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners enter into an agreement with Mr. Shanmugam to handle the litigation before the United State Supreme Court, at a cap of $200,000 for the petition for certiorari, with the private citizens funding the cost of seeking jurisdiction, and the Board funding the remaining costs, not to exceed $400,000, for the costs of further briefing and argument if jurisdiction is granted.
