Bridgeville residents alert!

All Bridgeville and Main Street need to be at next Monday's Borough Council meeting at 7pm, 
The Lawyers are no longer fighting the developer:

I went downtown this morning to attend what was listed as an Injunction Hearing in front of Judge James regarding the Bedner Farms developer's suit to use Main Street and our aging sewer lines. The lawyers from the Borough's insurance company met in front of the Judge's office with Richard Ferris and conversed. When the lawyer for the developer and USC arrived in the Judge's office door area I heard Richard Ferris (Bridgeville’s solicitor who previously said he would fight this) say out loud: "let's meet halfway". 
The lawyers went into the Judge's office/chambers at 9:40 am and talked for 45 minutes. I sat in the courtroom waiting to see if there would be an actual hearing. I took notes of what I was able to hear and what I saw happen. At 10:25 the lawyers left the Judge's office through the door to the courtroom. Jonathan Kamin (developer's attorney and lawyer for the CharWest Council of Governments -of which Bridgeville is a member) and a female left first, followed by Irving Firman (lawyer for USC). Richard Ferris and Phillip Sbrolla (attorney for Bridgeville's insurance company) approached me and told me that a "settlement is in the works" and that the details "would be discussed at next Monday's Borough Council meeting. 
From what I witnessed this morning the ‘legal team’ for Bridgeville went into the meeting in the Judge’s office/chambers with the intent to settle.
