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 facility maintenance worker.

that would require repetitive squeezing or pushing against his palm, or a sustained heavy g

His medical reports were submitted to the State Division of Workers Compensation, Offic
of Benefit Determination, for evaluation.
The permanent disability rating which they provided, as well as the need for possible futurl

The claimant and HCM Claim Management Corp., the City’s Third Party Administrator,
have agreed on the terms and conditions contained in that agreement.
It is Staffs recommendation that the Stipulations with Request for Award be approved.

Compensation Self-Insurance Fund to cover the cost of this settlement.
