CLAIMS
CLAIMANT:
Qwest
CLAIM #:
C-16-05
DAMAGES:
$95.35
ALLEGATION: Damage to Underground Utilities
DISCUSSION: The Risk Manager and Deputy Prosecuting Attorney reviewed the facts relating to this claim.
It is recommended that the claim be denied on the basis that it is the obligation of the claimant
to bury its underground equipment to a proper depth in order to prevent damage to its
communication facilities.

DAMAGES:
ALLEGATION:
Jeffrey Kieffer
C-17-05
$302.69
Vehicle Damage
DISCUSSION: The Risk Manager and Deputy Prosecuting Attorney reviewed the facts relating to this claim
and recommend that it be denied finding that road resurfacing operations were being
performed by County staff in the Quilcene area on the incident date. However, County trucks
traveling northbound (in the opposite direction of the claimant) would have been empty on the
incident date, indicating that the object(s) in question would not have come from a County
load, but, rather from a tire or the road, making this incident a "road hazard" for which the
County is not liable.
DECISION: Denied
