SUMMARY: on November 19, 1993, the City Clerk's office received a
claim for indemnification pertaining to a lawsuit filed
against claimant for premises liability.
Said lawsuit involves damages for injuries incurred by a minor,
Robb C. Potter, resulting from his. bicycle vs. vehicle collision on
September 14, 1992. The approximate location of said collision
appears to have occurred in the 1800 block of east Rowland Avenue,
approximately one hundred thirty two feet west of La Breda Avenue,
at the intersection of a,driveway adjacent to plaintiff's property
and the city's sidewalk.
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.,
RECOMMENDATION
That the claim of Paul Fest:filed on November`19, 1993 be denied
and that the claimant's attorney be so notified.
