Subject: Settlement of the Workers' Compensation claims of Derek Harvey for
$58,290.00.
Recommended Action
Adopt a Resolution authorizing settlement of the Workers' Compensation claims of Derek
Harvey for $58,290.00.
Executive Summary
The claimant is a Police Corporal. Officer Harvey sustained work related injuries in the course
of his employment resulting in permanent disability.
Pursuant to Resolution 2015-086, settlements over $50,000 require City Council approval.
Discussion
The terms and conditions of the proposed settlement are set forth in Request for Settlement
Authority (on file in the Human Resources Department). The terms and conditions were agreed
upon by the claimant and the city, and have been recommended by AdminSure Inc., the city's
workers' compensation third party administrator.
Fiscal Analysis
The cost of the settlement is $58,290.00. There are sufficient funds available in the Workers'
Compensation Self-Insurance Fund to cover the cost of this settlement.
Environmental Evaluation (CEQA}
Pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21065, this action does not constitute a "project"
within the meaning of CEQA in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical change
in the environment, or a reasonable foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment;
and therefore, does not require environmental review.
