Soskin CLAIM#: C-29-01 DAMAGES: $739.00 ALLEGATION: Delay of Building Project DISCUSSION: Risk Manager David Goldsmith and Deputy Prosecuting Attorney David Alvarez reviewed the details of the claim for damages referenced above. Based on the facts of the claim, Deputy Prosecutor Alvarez suggested sending a letter to the claimant offering to settle for a reduced amount. The Committee finds that there is the possibility that the claimant was encouraged by County staff to seek a statutory vacation, thereby,justifying reimbursement for the cost of the statutory vacation, or $64.00. Furthermore, the County is not obligated to reimburse the claimant for the full cost of the survey, since it was not required that the claimant obtain a survey for the statutory vacation and the information the claimant gained from the survey continues to have value to the claimant. The County does not admit liability, but, in the spirit or cooperation and in order to reach an amicable settlement, recommends full and final settlement for the total amount of$200.00. DECISION: The Risk Manager and Deputy Prosecutor will recommend to the County Administrator that a reduced amount be paid for this claim. Meeting adjourned.
