® PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER
September 22, 1997, the City Clerk's Office received a claim for
:)erty damage amounting to $543.73.
The claimant alleges that a branch from a City owned tree broke off and struck his vehicle
that was parked in the street in front of 747 South Cajon Avenue. The falling tree branch
caused minor dama-ae to claimant's vehicle.
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.
That the claim of Richard J. Alvarado filed on September 22, 1997, be denied and the
claimant be so notified.
