اتفاقية تسوية.pdf

The County of Madera and the California High-Speed Rail Authority (HSRA) have entered into a settlement agreement to resolve the County's involvement in a pending lawsuit. The lawsuit, filed in 2012, challenged HSRA's approval of the Merced to Fresno Section of the High-Speed Train System under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act. The settlement agreement provides that the County will dismiss its claims with prejudice, and HSRA will not pursue recovery of costs from the County. The agreement also includes provisions regarding the construction of overcrossings at certain avenues, including Avenues 12, 13, 15, and 9, and the parties' obligations to cooperate and obtain funding for these projects. Each party will bear its own legal fees and costs, and the agreement may only be modified or amended in writing by all parties.
