SUBJECT: PIERCE PROJECTS, INC. VS. CITY OF WEST COVINA
SUMMARY: On November 3, 1999, the City Clerk's Office received a claim for property
damage with an estimated amount of $325.
DISCUSSION:
The claimant alleges that during the execution of a search warrant, West Covina police
officers broke a security and entrance door at their apartment complex located in Upland.
After a thorough investigation and review of this matter, the City's claims administrator,
Colen and Lee, recommends denial.
As you are aware, since all claims should be considered potential lawsuits, it is requested
that all Councilmembers refrain from making specific public comments so as not to
prejudice any claim. Specific questions should be referred to the City Attorney.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the claim of Pierce Projects, Inc. filed on November 3, 1999, be denied and the
claimant be so notified.
