On January 15, 2008, the Court signed an Order granting Final Approval to the Homeowners’ case settlement, which, in effect, finalized the conditions for final approval of the Global Settlement reached in the Cities’ case. The terms of the class action settlement are the same terms as the settlement in the Cities’ case. The two cases together are obtaining recovery under one Global Settlement.

Under the terms of the Global Settlement, the Cities and the MAC will make the final determination of what relief homes will receive. For specific implementation questions you might have or if you have reviewed the maps on the MAC website, and are still unable to determine whether or not your home is eligible for benefits under the Global Settlement, you can contact the MAC directly by calling either the mitigation program information number (612.726.9411), or by calling with John Nelson who is the mitigation program coordinator at the MAC (612.726.8133). If you need further assistance, you should contact your individual City program coordinator: Merland Otto at the City of Minneapolis (612.673.2576); Pam Dmytrenko at the City of Richfield (612.861.9708); Diane Miller at the City of Eagan (651.675.5014); or Larry Lee at the City of Bloomington (952.563.8947).
