FOX MORAINE'S RESPONSE TO YORKVILLE'S MOTION

IN LIMINE

No.4

NOW COMES Fox Moraine, LLC, ("Fox Moraine"), by its attorneys, Charles

Helsten and George Mueller and for its response to Yorkville's Motion

In Umine

No.4

states and alleges as follows:

This motion seeks to bar any reference to the infamous Wildman, Harrold,

Allen and Dixon invoice

of June 15, 2007 in the amount of $96,119.73 for 257.45 hours

of legal services rendered in connection with the Fox Moraine siting application between

April 27, 2007 and May 29, 2007. This invoice was previously the subject

of an

extensively briefed motion to return the same, which motion was denied by the Hearing

Officer. Fox Moraine re-alleges all

of the arguments in its brief in response to that

motion, including arguments regarding the relevancy of this invoice to the issues in this

appeal.

Since it has been determined that the subject invoice, a copy of which is

attached hereto and made apart hereof,

is not work product or otherwise priVileged, the

only issue left with regard to it is

if it is relevant on any issue at the fundamental fairness

hearing to be held by the Board. Recent discovery in this case and a close review

Electronic Filing - Received, Clerk's Office, September 29, 2008

the invoice itself make it exceeding relevant as circumstantial, if not direct, evidence of

predisposition and bias.

The invoice itself indicates that the Wildman, Harrold, Allen and Dixon firm

started work on this project

on April 27, 2007 and between that date and May 4,2007,

the Wildman firm provided 29.65 hours of legal services to the United City of Yorkville.

This is particularly troubling since the Wildman firm had apparently not been retained at

that time nor authorized to perform any services. Said services as

will be indicated

further herein were clearly directed primarily to developing a rationale for denial of the

application.

On June 18, 2008, the discovery deposition of Valerie Surd was taken in

this case. A copy said deposition transcript

is attached hereto and made a part hereof.

Valerie Surd had been a Yorkville city alderman during the public hearing on the siting

application and on April 17, 2007, she was elected to the position

of mayor. However,

she was not sworn in as mayor nor did she assume her duties as mayor until May

2007. A copy of the May 8, 2007 city council meeting minutes have previously been

attached to Fox Moraine's response

to the original unsuccessful motion for return of the

infamous invoice.

At her discovery deposition, Valerie Surd was asked, "Did you retain other

attorneys on behalf of City business prior to your being sworn in?" Her response was,

"No.

f don't have the authority to do that. n (Surd deposition pg. 46) She was further

asked, "Who authorized that firm to begin work on April

?" Her answer was, "No

one." (Surd Dep.

pg. 46)

Wildman, Harrold, Allen and Dixon to begin work on behalf of the City starting on April

27th?" Her answer was,

"No. I did not." (Burd Dep. pg. 52) She was further asked,

"Did you authorize them to do work on behalf of the City starting on that date?", and her

answer was,

"No. I could not do

that.~

(Burd Dep. pg. 52) She was further asked, "And

you knew you could not authorize them to do work until after you had been sworn in and

they

had been approved by the city council.

Correct?~

Her answer was, uThat's

correct." (Burd Dep. pp. 52, 53) Ms. Burd was further asked, "But it's your position now

that all of the entries prior to May 9th represent work that was not authorized by

you or

the City

is that correct?" Her answer was, "That's correct." She was then asked, "And

it's also your position that all of the entries prior to May 9

represent work that you

weren't even aware

of?~

Her answer was, "That's correct." (Surd Dep. Pp 55,56)

The subject invoice shows an entry by Anthony Hopp, one of the Wildman

attorneys

on April 3D, 2007 for 5 hours to "Complete preparation for and conduct

meeting with mayor and city administration; post meeting work based

on results of

meeting." Now, based upon the foregoing. either Valerie Surd was not truthful in her

deposition or the Wildman invoice

is inaccurate. Either conclusion is powerful evidence

of bias and prejudice against Petitioner, particularly since the first review

of actual

evidence related to the siting application referenced

in the Wildman invoice in on April

29, 2007, the day before Anthony Hopp's meeting with the mayor (which she denied

having any knowledge of)

on which date Anthony Hopp billed 4.5 hours to "Review

than the siting application itself or the sequential testimony at the siting hearing, it raises

a powerful inference that those attorneys were instructed to find a rationale for denial

the application. When the person apparently instructing those attorneys to find that

rationale (Valerie

BUrd) now denies authorizing the work and denies any knowledge that

the work even existed, this invoice, coupled with the Surd deposition testimony, begins

to rise to the level

of a "smoking gun."

The May 8,2007, city council meeting minutes, indicate that Michael Roth

was hired

on that date as City attorney to perform up to 50 hours per month in services

for the City. No action was taken

on retention of the Wildman firm (of which Roth was a

member) or for the services to be provided by other members

of the firm. The subject

invoice in fact shows that

of the 257.45 hours of legal services provided in only 33

cafendar day, only 26.5

of those hours were actually prOVided by Michael Roth. In

contrast, 190 hours combined were provided by Leo Dombrowski and Anthony Hopp

who have been the City's lead attorneys during this appeal.

The Wildman invoices are othelWise full of references indicating that their

assigned mission was to justify denial of the siting application. For example,

on May 8,

2007, presumably before he was even officially hired, Michael Roth billed .70 hours to

"Work

on strategies concerning finality of decision, disconnection of territory and

development of City's decision." This seems strangely premature in light of the fact that

no prior billings by Mr. Roth relate to review of the evidence. Additionally, disconnection

of territory

can only refer to disconnection of the Fox Moraine territory, as the original

annexation

of that territory, a precursor to the filing of the siting application, was a highly

controversial activity which Fox Moraine now alleges helped create the politically biased

atmosphere.

The Wildman invoice also supports Fox Moraine's claim set forth in its

motion filed

on September 24, 2008, that in addition to the summaries of the evidence

and recommendations prepared by Derke Price

on behalf of the City expert technical

staff and the hearing officer, Larry Clark (both

of which summaries and

recommendations were for approval with conditions, there was a third summary of the

evidence and recommendations prepared by Michael Roth

or one of his partners, which

summary was considered and relied upon by City council members and which has

never been placed into the record

in this matter. Billing references on the subject

invoice to preparation

of a report or summary appear on May 11, 2007, May 14, 2007,

May 16, 2007, May

21, 2007 and May 22, 2007, with that last reference being to

"Continue to revise, edit and finalize legal memoranda to Mayor and city council.

....

References to review of the evidence are likewise abundant, so it is clear that the

Wildman firm prepared a report for the

city council.

10.

At a landfill siting hearing there are three possible decisions, unconditional

approval, approval with conditions and denial. That suggests that attorneys in

anticipation

of a council meeting to decide the case would prepare resolutions covering

each alternative.

In this case, the Wildman invoice indicates that only a single

resolution was drafted as there are mUltiple references

in the invoice to the drafting and

revision of the "resolution," that term always used

in the singUlar except on one

occasion.

On May 14, 2007, Anthony Hopp billed for the first draft of the need section

of resolution. On the same date Michael Roth billed for work on resolution, on May 22,

2007, Anthony Hopp billed for work

on resolution and on May 23, 2007, Leo

Dombrowski billed for

uReview and analyze hearing officers findings and

recommendations; prepare draft. city council resolutions; revise memoranda regarding

evaluation of siting criteria evidence, attend special meeting

of city council" for a total of

10.50 hours on that date.

11.

It is clear from the foregoing that the RothlWildman report selVed as a

rebuttal to the reports prepared by Price and Clark and in fact, had to

be revised based

upon the content

of those other reports. It is also clear that there was only a denial

resolution ever contemplated and drafted by the Wildman firm.

12.

The Wildman invoice

is also instructive on the issue of whether or not the

resolution purporting to

be the final decision of the city council (Resolution No. 2007-36)

was the resolution actually adopted

on May 24, 2007, or whether it represents an illegal

delegation by the city council to its attorneys

of the duty to make the final decision. On

May 24,2007, the day after Resolution 2007-36 was allegedly adopted, Anthony Hopp

billed 2.0 hours for,

uSeveral revision to draft Resolution; review transcript of hearing

and discus which conditions could be included and which should not." On the same

date, Leo Dombrowski billed 3.75 hours to "Revise city council resolution; review

transcript

of city council meeting, review additional hearing testimony regarding siting

criteria."

On the same date also, Michael Roth billed 1.90 hours to "Work on revisions

to approved resolution to incorporate conditions requested by aldermen at meeting;

finish working

on revisions to landfill siting resolution and prepare memo to mayor and

city council regarding execution." On May 29,.2007, Michael Roth billed .5 hours for,

"Conference with Mr. Olson regarding resolution revisions and work on legal

requirements for service

of resolution," Clearly then the Wildman invoice demonstrates

unequivocal evidence that the resolution purporting to be the final decision

of the city

council and incorporated in the record on appeal as a document dated May 24, 2007,

was

in fact not prepared on that date and that its execution was after the fact. It is also

clear that the conditions set forth in said resolution were crafted by attorneys after the

fact, based upon the city council's illegal delegation to them

of the power to include or

omit conditions

as they saw fit.

WHEREFORE,

for the forgoing reasons, the Wildman invoices completely

relevant in that it ties together a number of other issues raised by Petitioner and

accordingly the Motion
