Body
SUMMARY:
On February 3, 2016, Bayesplanade.com, LLC, filed a civil lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Pinellas County against the City of Clearwater seeking to quit title to a certain tract of submerged land lying east of Clearwater Island.
Both parties filed motions for summary judgment and on April 18, 2017, the Circuit Court granted Bayesplanade’s motion and denied the City’s motion.
The City Attorney’s Office believes that the City’s motion for summary judgment was meritorious and that the City should appeal the judgment to the Second District Court of Appeals.
The costs relative to this appeal would come from copy and other administrative overhead costs, estimated to be $300.00.
