IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO
EASTERN DIVISION
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff,
v.
C73-439
CITY OF PARMA, OHIO,
Defendant.
___________________________
AGREEMENT AND DISMISSAL
1. On August 30, 1995, defendant City of Parma, Ohio ("the City" or
"Parma") filed a Motion for Relief from Remedial Order in this
matter. In its Motion, the City asserts that it has complied with
its obligations under the Remedial Order entered by this Court on
December 4, 1980, as subsequently modified by the United States
Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit ("Remedial Order") , and it
seeks an Order recognizing such compliance and dismissing this
case. The United States acknowledges that the City: (a) has
participated in and continues to participate in the Community
Development Block Grant program operated by the United States
Department of Housing and Urban Development; (b) has created its
own public housing authority; (c)has established and now
administers its own Section 8 program through such housing
authority; and (d) has developed and constructed a sixty (60) unit
public housing project within the City known as "Chevybrook
Estates." However, while acknowledging the efforts the City has
made to comply with the Remedial Order, the United States also
contends that Parma has failed to satisfy fully the provisions of
the Remedial Order and that the City should continue to undertake
efforts to make Parma an open community.
2. Despite their competing contentions, the parties agree to end
twenty-three years of costly and protracted litigation by the
entry of this Order, as indicated by the signatures appearing
below.
3. Only the United States, the City and the Court shall be
responsible for the implementation and enforcement of this Order.
In light of the parties' agreement on final remedial actions to be
taken, as contained herein, the Amicus Curiae's role in this case
is concluded.
4. The provisions of this Order apply to the City, its employees, its
