SUMMARY: On October 16, 1998, the City Clerk's Office received a claim for
damages as a result of the wrongful death of Ada Rodriguez. The amount

The claimants allege that the proximate cause of Ada Rodriguez's wrongful death was
due to a dangerous condition existing at the intersection of Francesca Drive and Nogales

After a thorough investigation and review of this matter, the City's Claims Administrator,
Colen and Lee, 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.
