Local 4 has learned a tentative settlement has been reached in a civil lawsuit that involves former Detroit City Council President Monica Conyers.
Conyers was brought back to Detroit from "Camp Cupcake" federal prison where she is serving her 3 year sentence in a bribery case.
She is accused of forcing the firing of Theodis Collins in his job as a counselor at Mariners Inn after he filed recall papers against Conyers in April of 2009.
Mariners Inn was up for a grant from the city and Conyers allegedly used that as leverage.
The settlement is contingent on the Detroit City Council approving a payout of $75,000.
Mariners Inn is also paying an undisclosed amount.
If the council votes down the city share, the case would go to trial in federal court in Detroit.
