Garden City residents to get refunds from fire fee lawsuit
Summary
Garden City residents will receive partial refunds for a fire protection fee following a class action lawsuit settlement. The city settled the lawsuit, which alleged the fee was an illegal tax, by creating a $1.4 million refund fund. The settlement is scheduled to go before the Superior Court in June, and if agreed to, disbursements will begin. The claims administrator will determine how much each resident gets back, and the process is expected to take several years.
