KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - The Kansas City Council has agreed to pay $1.75 million to settle a lawsuit with an air cargo company.
The Kansas City Star (http://bit.ly/1HbiFfS) reported that the City Council signed off on the payment to K.C. Air Cargo Services on Thursday. The suit claimed that the city had allowed subsurface water from Kansas City International Airport land to migrate onto its leased property.
Company Attorney Christopher Shank said Friday that he and his client hope the settlement resolves the water issues. The company has been told a city water line nearby had been taken out of service.
The company's lease with the city will also be amended to redefine its property boundaries and reduce the rent payments. The existing lease expires in 2017.
