Resolution No. 2023-154
Affirming Participation in and Filing Claims for Class Action PFAS Settlements
Whereas, the City of Fridley (City) has been made aware of pending class action settlements in a
multidistrict lawsuit involving 3M and DuPont related to perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl
substances (PFAS); and
Whereas, the City’s Well 10 has been impacted by PFAS, and in order to best protect the public
health, this source of water has been taken out of service until a treatment system can be
established; and
Whereas, the City Attorney and staff have reviewed options for response and potential
involvement in the class action settlements; and
Whereas, the City Council (Council) has been advised of options relating to the settlements,
including filing of claims; objecting to the settlement but filing claims; opting out of the
settlements; or do nothing but remain subject to the settlement agreements; and
Whereas, there is the greatest certainty of benefit to the City to participate in the settlements.
Now, therefore be it resolved, that the City Council of the City of Fridley hereby affirms the staff
recommendation to file all necessary claims and participate in the settlements.
Passed and adopted by the City Council of the City of Fridley this 11th day of December,
2023.
