Nearly 18 months after filing lawsuits against each other, the city of Bellflower and Bellflower Unified School District have agreed to settle, both sides announced today.
According to a lawsuit filed May 31, 2007, city officials sought to stop the school district from building a nutrition center at Bellflower High School because they say the project did not comply with the California Environmental Quality Act.
A day later, on June 1, school officials sued the city over a 1991 redevelopment agreement that they say entitled the district to more than $15 million.
In the settlement, the city decided to make available $4 million in redevelopment funds for improvements at Bellflower facilities over the next 10 years and the school district will give the city more access to BUSD facilities for city programs.
For more information, read all about it in Wednesday's Press-Telegram.
