The City Council tonight will consider settling with Brittany Poston Meshell, putting las Dupree affaire to bed. 

Her EEOC complaint over alleged on-job recriminations following trysts with then-Mayor Rich Dupree and his chief of staff while she was a city employee rocked the city last summer.

Dupree eventually resigned and Joe Bishop, then parish president, was appointed his successor by the council. 

The agenda for tonight’s session includes introducing for publication an ordinance to appropriate and pay funds to resolve Meshell’s claims. 

How much is under consideration is not included in the agenda posting. 

Prior council discussion of the matter’s details has been in executive session, not the case tonight, according to the posting.
