The Bocans subsequently appealed that decision,bringing legal action in both <br /> circuit and federal court. <br /> As the litigation progressed,negotiations occurred between the Bocan family and County Board. <br /> Ultimately an agreement was reached between the Bocans and the County Board that in <br /> exchange for the County agreeing to not appeal a decision by Judge Tolan in the circuit court <br /> case,should the ruling be unfavorable to the County, the Bocans agreed to dismiss the federal <br /> action. This agreement was reached after careful consideration and significant consultation with <br /> the County's attorneys regarding the particular facts and circumstances of the case. Additionally, <br /> the risks of an ongoing federal action were carefully considered, and the County Board of <br /> Supervisors decided it was in the best interest of the County to negotiate a resolution that <br /> eliminated any potential federal liability and associated monetary judgements against the County. <br /> On November 22, 2024,Judge Tolan ruled in favor of the Bocans, and ordered the Conditional <br /> Use Permit to be issued. Pursuant to the agreement reached between the Bocans and the County, <br /> the County will abide by the decision of Judge Tolan to issue the Conditional Use Permit, will <br /> not be appealing the decision, and the Conditional Use Permit will be issued accordingly. <br /> For questions related to this decision,please reach out to County Administrator Ehalt at <br /> 715.349.2181. <br /> S cerely, <br /> Dona i L.Taylor 'hairman <br /> Burnett County Board of Supervisors <br /> bcchair(d-burnettcountv.orq <br />
