Partyka."
Mr. Anthony A. Garganese, City Attorney stated that "This is a lawsuit in which the City
is not a party to, neither are any of the City Commissioners or the Mayor. Mr. Partyka
was sued in his individual capacity, as part of that law suit, in which Mr. Partyka was
involved."
Attorney Garganese further explained that "A settlement was reached, in which the
Florida League of Cities insurance defense will pay Mr. Mikes and Florida Country Club,
$65,000.00 to settle on the lawsuit against Mr. Partyka, in his individual capacity. As
part of that settlement, the City of Winter Springs - received the benefit of being included
in the general release, and that is what is before you."
Commissioner McLeod stated that "I understand we're also going to lose our insurance,
over present lawsuits, and this one here is kind of the one that broke the camel's back; so
I think it should be part of the record that has taking place, if that's factual, which I
believe that's so."
