SUMMARY: On September 20, 1993, the City Clerk's Office received
a claim for property damage amounting to $3,578.81.
The claimant alleges that a large branch from a City tree fell on
two of his vehicles which were parked in,the parking area,at his
apartment complex. * The claimant further alleges that negligent
tree maintenance was the proximate cause of the broken branch
resulting in damage to his vehicles.
After a thorough investigation and review of this matter, our staff
and the City's claims administrator recommend denial.
As 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.
