FOCUS: ORANGE COUNTY COMMUNITY NEWS : YORBA LINDA
City Atty. Leonard Hampel will defend Yorba Linda in three lawsuits filed by residents who say the city is responsible for landslide damage to their properties.
The City Council last week authorized Hampel to start working on the cases filed by homeowners who live in the Hidden Hills area. The city was named in a lawsuit filed earlier this year by another resident who lives there.
The complaints also name the developer, now-defunct Pacific Scene Inc., as a defendant.
In addition, the city is filing its own lawsuit against the developer for landslide damage to the street and other city property.
