B. Request for approval of Fisher Consultants to provide Expert Witness services in

April 20, 2026, Regular City Council Meeting · 2026-04-20 · agenda_item

The City of Destin is currently reviewing a proposal for Fisher Consultants to provide expert witness services in an ongoing legal matter. This engagement involves Ms. April Fischer acting as an expert witness in litigation concerning public slips, with Claude Perry Enterprises as the other party. The City Council has already approved this engagement. While this is a legal service, the underlying litigation may involve property access for drainage studies, which could lead to future site work. Local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to monitor this situation. Early engagement with the city or involved parties before final plans or permits are issued could provide an advantage for potential future work related to any property access or drainage improvements that may arise from the litigation.
