SETTLEMENT OF CLAIM - CITY OF
MTG. 4/28/92 OCEANSIDE
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approval of Resolution No. qg-//? approving the settlement of a claim for damages filed by
the City of Oceanside.
ITEM EXPLANATION
On July 25, 1991 a City of Carlsbad Police Officer was involved in a traffic accident with a
City of Oceanside Officer. The accident resulted from a police action involving both the City
of Carlsbad and Oceanside Police Departments.
The City of Oceanside had originally filed a claim with the City of Carlsbad for compensation
for both the property damage and the workers compensation costs related to the incident.
Oceanside has since dropped their claim for workers compensation costs and has agreed to
settle for payment of $13,627.50 representing the value of the police unit damaged in the
accident. We have received a signed release from the City of Oceanside.
Staff is asking the City Council to adopt the attached resolution accepting the proposed
settlement, and authorizing the City Manager to issue a check for $13,627.50 to the City of
Oceanside.
F!ISCAL IMPACT
The amount of this claim will be paid from the City's Liability Self-Insurance Fund. Sufficient
funds exist to cover this payment. The vehicle is expected to have a salvage value of $2,500
which will reduce our net costs to approximately $11,100.
