TO: City Council
FROM: Tim Wellnitz, Assistant City Attorney
SUBJECT: Authorization for the Administration to Accept a Liability Claim from State
Farm Insurance (Daniel & April Halbach) in the Amount of $5,250.00
On September 2, 2008, Daniel and April Halbach’s home and personal property was
damaged by a sanitary sewer backup. This residence had a finished lower level. The
personal property claim submitted by the Halbachs was previously settled for $8,720.00.
On December 18, 2008 we received the expected subrogation claim from State Farm
Insurance Company for repairs to the Halbach’s home and removal and disposal of the
damaged personal property in the amount of $10,500.00. I have negotiated a
settlement of this claim in the amount of $5,250.00.
After investigating this claim it has been determined that the City should accept this
claim.
Resolution 89-1175, establishing our claims administration procedure, states in section
4.3a:
The City Claims Administrator shall review, investigate, verify and within
ninety (90) days of receiving such claim, prepare and forward a written
recommendation to the Common Council for its review, consideration, and
action each and every claim in face amount greater than Five Thousand
Dollars ($5,000).
I recommend that the City Council approve by consent and authorize the Administration
to accept the claim received from State Farm Insurance in the amount of $5,250.00.
