After a flurry of activity including separate meetings with Mayor Tim Kelly and Chattanooga Police Chief Celeste Murphy, a letter sent to Kelly from residents and businesses around Station Street and a mediation, it appears a tentative settlement has been reached involving the Blue Light nightclub and the city.
The settlement stems from safety issues at the club raised by the Chattanooga Beer & Wrecker Board.
Chattanooga City Attorney Emily O’Donnell and Blue Light attorney Scott Maucere both told the Times Free Press by phone that mediation took place recently as suggested by Chancery Court Judge Jeffrey Atherton at the close of the appeal hearing in his courtroom on June 28.
Both also confirmed that the scheduled restart of the Chancery Court hearing set for July 19 has been indefinitely postponed, and both said they could not comment on specifics of the ongoing case.
