RANDALL
Approval of Resolution No. r7k-ll'n approving the Stipulations with Request for Award
which authorizes the payment of $9,555.00, at the rate of $140 per week, to Patricia Randall
as settlement of her workers compensation claim.
ITEM EXPLANATION
This matter arose on May 26, 1994, when the claimant, a Meter Services Worker 11, suffered
a work related injury when she was breaking up concrete with a sledgehammer.
The claimant's condition has stabilized and she is now permanent and stationary. However,
she has a permanent work restriction of no very heavy work.
Her medical reports were submitted to the State Division of Workers Compensation, Office
of Benefit Determination, for evaluation.
The permanent disability rating which they provided, as well as the need for possible future
medical treatment, has been incorporated into the settlement agreement which has been
submitted for consideration.
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 Staff's recommendation that the Stipulations with Request for Award be approved.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of the settlement is $9,555.00, excluding possible future medical treatment. If such
treatment is required, the City will be obligated to pay those expenses. There is no method
for predicting what those costs may be. There are sufficient funds available in the Workers
Compensation Self-Insurance Fund to cover the cost of this settlement.
