Derby Corporation Counsel Joseph Coppola said the settlement will be added to the agenda of the Derby Board of Aldermen, who are scheduled to meet Thursday (May 21). The settlement will not see Domurad reinstated as finance director, the position he held from 2008 until April. He filed a lawsuit earlier this month, claiming he was wrongfully terminated.
