The Flint City Council voted Thursday to postpone a vote on the city's $20 million portion of the state of Michigan's proposed $641 million settlement stemming from Flint water crisis lawsuits.
Council members held lengthy discussions Thursday over approving the city of Flint's $20 million insurance payment that would go toward the settlement of a class-action lawsuit stemming from lead in household water pipes beginning in 2014, when the city switched water sources.
They agreed to discuss the issue Monday at a scheduled City Council meeting.
Concerns by some on the council include what authorizing the payment would mean for the city and whether the settlement itself was large enough to cover replacement of pipes and future lawsuits.
