The Mobile City Council approved a resolution authorizing a settlement agreement and release of claims with fired Gulf Coast Technology Center commander Kevin Levy.
An attorney for Levy previously claimed that false and damaging statements were made in connection to a city council investigation. The investigation centered around a contract with 321z Insights LLC, the chain of command with the Gulf Coast Technology Center and its use of resources, a breakdown in relations between City administration and former police chief Paul Prine and grievances expressed by Prine.
Levy denied the claims he gave false testimony, altered a City contract and violated City policy. The Alabama Attorney General's office concluded that Levy did nothing illegal after investigating the claims.
The City went into negotiations with Levy's attorney in lieu of a lawsuit.
The Mobile City Council unanimously approved the resolution for the settlement, with the exception of council president CJ Small, who was not present.
The details of the settlement were not revealed. Levy's attorney was unable to speak to 1819 News Tuesday.
