Harrisburg city council president Gloria Martin-Roberts comments on the failure to approve a consent agreement.rn_________________________________Press release: Per Council President Martin-Roberts:rn rnA continuation meeting was held this morning at 10AM with Creditors, The Mayor, DCED, Dauphin County, Covanta and Assured Guaranty, who was on stand-by to acknowledge whether or not City Council had four members willing to negotiate. All of the above mentioned parties discussed their willingness to negotiaternand devise a consent agreement; however negotiations were stalled because only three council members were present. rn rnTherefore, it was determined that negotiations could not continue and a consent agreement could not be established without the agreement of (at least) four council members. Because these negotiations reached a stalemate based on not having a majority of council involved - the negotiation process is closed and the meeting for tonight at 5:05PM has been cancelled.rn rnGloria Martin RobertsrnPresident, Harrisburg City Council Tags: Harrisburg takeover act 47 chapter 9 Martin-Roberts Mayor Linda D.
