CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE DECISION
Claim No.: #C-01-15
Claimant: East Jefferson Fire and Rescue
Damages: $11,640.00 (Plus Tax and License)
Allegation: Property Damage During Windstorm
The Committee reviewed the details of this claim. The Claimant alleges that during a
windstorm a tree located on County property fell onto the Claimant's boat trailer located on the
Claimant's property. The Public Works Department submitted a recommendation to deny this
claim due to the fact that there is inadequate evidence to prove that the damage sustained was
the result of an act or omission by County Personnel. Additionally, the County had no
knowledge of a hazard tree at that location. Member Gordon moved to deny claim #C-01-15.
Member Hamlin seconded the motion for discussion. Discussion ensued regarding the content
of the denial letter. A vote was called on the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. The
Deputy Clerk of the Board will draft a letter of denial.
