Attached is the judgment entered Friday 6/28/13 against Shoreline and former Deputy Mayor Maggie Fimia in the 7 year long Public Record Act lawsuit filed by former Shoreline resident Beth O'Neill. The City has been ordered to pay $428,966.18 in attorney's fees and an additional $9,588.79 in costs. This is in addition to the $100,000 in statutory penalties the City agreed in October 2012 to pay. In a previous posting by patch.com in Sept. 2012, this website published a Sept. 2012 City of Shoreline press release as if it were a news story, and no response. Also attached is a six page settlement demand from me, as the O'Neills lawyer, in July 2012 (more than 2 months before the press release) laying out more accurately than the City's release I believe the actual history of this case and the many chances the City had to resolve it sooner for far less cost to its citizens. This letter has been a matter of public record since July 2012, but as the City has been sharing just its view of the matter publicly in press releases designed to bash Ms. O'Neill and her lawyers and to inaccurately portray the events, I felt compelled to offer the reader of this site the other side of the story.
