<br />Margaret A. Egan, Finance Director
<br />City of New Brighton
<br />803 Old Hwy. 8
<br />New Brighton, MN 55112-2792
<br />
<br />Dear Ms. Egan:
<br />
<br />On behalf of the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT), this letter will formally
<br />acknowledge receipt of the lawsuit filed in Ramsey County District Court entitled "Speedway
<br />SuperAmerica LLC, a Delaware company, Plaintiff-Petitioner, v. City of New Brighton, a
<br />Minnesota municipal corporation, Defendant-Respondent".
<br />
<br />Please be advised that I have assigned the handling of the defense of this case to the law firm of
<br />Kennedy & Graven with offices at 470 Pillsbury Center, Minneapolis, MN 55402. Specifically,
<br />Attorney James J. Thomson has been assigned the handling ofthis case. I have given that
<br />attorney instructions to file a timely appearance on your behalf and to take those steps necessary
<br />to protect your immediate interests. If you have any questions for Mr. Thomson, feel free to
<br />contact him at 612-337-9300.
<br />
<br />In general terms, Plaintiff alleges that the City has refused to act as required by law regarding
<br />their site plan application and variance application for reconstruction of the SuperAmerica store.
<br />Plaintiff asks the Court to issue a Writ of Mandamus compelling the City to approve the
<br />applications and to issue a building permit to them, an injunction directing the City to approve
<br />the applications and to issue a building permit to them, costs and disbursements, and such other
<br />and further relief as the Court deems just and equitable.
<br />
<br />I would specifically refer you to the Comprehensive Municipal Coverage form under Coverage
<br />D. which states in part:
<br />
<br />Coverage D. Land Use Or Development Litigation
<br />
<br />AN EQUAL OPPOR'1'lJNT1'Y/AFFTRMA'l'TVF. Ar'l'TnN F.MPT()V!<'P
