IRON MOUNTAIN A settlement has been reached in a lawsuit filed by a local synagogue board against the city of Iron Mountain and several of its officials.
The Anshe Knesseth Israel Congregation sued in federal court in September over the city’s decision in 2019 to revoke its tax-exempt status. The suit also alleged the city’s contracted assessor, Patti Roell, had entered a synagogue building at 401 S. Kimberly Ave. without permission from the congregation, although the building was listed with a local realtor.
The settlement provides a $75,000 payment to the congregation for damages and attorney fees, with $60,000 coming from assessor’s insurer and $15,000 from the city’s insurer.
