MTG. 6/6/95 COMPENSATION CLAIM OF GILBERT CITY
' SETnEMENT OF WORKERS
DEPT. RM BEASON CITY
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approval of Resolution No. 9 5-/i10 approving the Stipulations with Request for Award
which authorizes the payment of $6,195, at the rate of $140 per week, to Gilbert Beason as
settlement of his workers compensation claim.
ITEM EXPLANATION
This matter arose on June 8, 1993 when the claimant, a police officer, suffered a work relatl
injury when he lost control of his motorcycle while driving on loose gravel. He sustained an
injury to his right shoulder.
The claimant's condition has stabilized and he is now permanent and stationary. He is
continuing to work in his usual and customary occupation as a police officer. However, he
has permanent disabilities which preclude him from overhead work with the right arm and
repetitive overhead lifting or carrying or very heavy lifting or carrying.
The terms and conditions of the proposed settlement are set forth in the Stipulations with
Request for Award. The terms and conditions were agreed upon by the attorney
representing the claimant and the attorney representing the City, and have been approved 1
HCM, the City's third party administrator.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of the settlement is $6,195, excluding possible future medical treatment. If such
treatment is required, the City will be obligated to pay those expenses. There is no methoc
for predicting what those costs may be. There are sufficient funds available in the Workers
Compensation Self-Insurance Fund to cover the cost of tlhis settlement.
