City and Board of Trustees of Police Pension Fund entered into settlement agreement, whereby City agreed to pay Police Pension Fund $551,079 in back property taxes City had collected but failed to remit. Court properly found it had jurisdiction to enforce settlement agreement. Based on language in agreement, court's jurisdiction would terminate only under certain condition, and that condition had not yet occurred. Agreement contains no language limiting enforcement authority of court to only certain sections. In entering judgment against City, court was enforcing City's contractual obligations under settlement agreement. (CONNORS and SIMON, concurring.)
