San Luis Obispo -- San Luis Obispo County is looking to settle the Wilcox lawsuit. The county has authorized its attorneys to offer a settlement of $180,000. Former Assistant County Administrator Gail Wilcox must provide a complete release of all claims and dismiss the pending litigations against the county and former County Administrator David Edge. The amount covers all claims including her costs and attorney fees.
The SLO County Board of Supervisors struggled with the concept of paying a settlement rather than dealing with the courts. It felt paying the settlement would in the end be more cost effective. Already the county has spent $337,000 on the investigation and defense.
