A settlement that would have given former Pacific Grove Mayor Morrie Fisher a lifetime discount on playing fees at the city’s municipal golf course has been unanimously rejected by the Pacific Grove City Council.
City Attorney David Laredo brought the settlement, reached through mediation out of court, to the council Nov. 5 and the council appeared receptive at the time. Laredo said both parties agreed that pursuing Fisher’s lawsuit to recover his free golf wasn’t worth the potential expense, and that settlement would allow city officials to concentrate on more pressing business.
