i 6.3B <br /> REPORT <br /> To the Honorable Mayor and City Council <br /> From the City Manager '' <br /> � <br /> November 8, 2010 <br /> SUBJECT <br /> Claim from Anna Darlene Daquet , <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> Reject subject claim. <br /> BACKGROUND <br /> This claim is being brought to the Council because if this claim results in a monetary <br /> settlement, the settlement could exceed $15,000. According to resolution no. 14595, if an <br /> amount to be paid for a general liability claim exceeds $15,000, any denial, allowance, <br /> allowance in part, settlement, or compromise must be approved by Council. <br /> ' Claimant is alleging injury as a result of a trip and fall that occurred near 965 BrewsterAve. � <br /> It has been recommended by the City's claims adjuster, Rosemary Oberhelman, that this <br /> claim be denied. <br /> A�TERNATIVES <br /> If this claim is not rejected, the statute of limitations for the claimant to file a court action on <br /> the claim is extended from six months to two years, thereby placing the City in a more <br /> fiscally vulnerable position in defending this matter. <br /> FISCAL IMPACT <br /> The rejection of this claim has no direct fiscal impact. However, should the claimant elect <br /> to affect litigation to this incident, we have no basis with which to estimate the legal <br /> expenses or a settlement, should such estimates ultimately be required. <br /> � � <br /> Brian Po ty Peter C.
