SUMMARY: On September 10, 1999, the City Clerk's Office received a claim for
property damage. The amount of claim had not been determined at the time
of presentation.
DISCUSSION:
The claimant alleges that City tree roots caused damage to the water service line at his
residence.
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 Robert L. Woolley Jr. filed on September 10, 1999, be denied and the
claimant be so notified.
