Cy Pres Committee will consist of Sidney Torres, Bobby Klees, Danny Dysart
and Carl Zornes (Murphy head of community affairs). Committee will make
recommendations of potential uses of cy pres funds. Potential uses include:
a. Healthcare
b. Recreation
c. Education
d. Wetlands
e. Oil Spill Buyout Zone neighborhood landscaping/beautification
(Andre Neff)
f. Recognition/memorialization of Murphy oil spill stakeholders,
residents, parish officials, attorneys, etc.
3 zones:
To the extent $2 million is not used, that money will revert to cy pres fund.
Murphy will issue offers of judgment for an amount less than the settlement
offer for those wishing to litigate.
Murphy will seek entry of a Lone Pine Order for those who reject the
settlement offer and wish to litigate their out of area claims.
Again, for those out of area claimants who reject settlement, the amount of
their settlement will be directed to the cy pres fund and used for charitable
purposes in accordance with the recommendations of the Cy Pres Committee
and rulings of the Court.
If the proposal is accepted, Murphy will dismiss its Notice of Appeal to the Fifth
Circuit on the issue of reversion/reallocation of the entirety of the $5 million in
surplus class settlement funds.
