RE; Claimant
Claim No.
Date of Loss
Dear Ms. Harvey:
Natasha Attaway
CTY 23148
11/28/2003
After settling the property damage portion of the claim on January 23, 2004, we were left with
the salvage of the vehicle. At that time the charges were:
Towing
Storage (60 days @ $31.00)
$155.00
1 860.00
$2,015.00
The salvage was worth $500.00 to $600.00. In negotiations with Weber's Towing, we were able
to reach an agreement of surrendering the salvage ($500.00 to $600.00) and paying $1,000,00 for
the storage instead of the full bill.. This should be accepted.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
i

SUMMARY EXPLANATION: On November 28, 2003, a City of Yakima police officer driving a city
Police vehicle was in a two -vehicle accident. On December 11, 2003, the owner of the other vehicle that
was hit filed a damage claim with the City of Yakima Clerk relating to the incident and to the damage to
her car, a 1996 Plymouth Neon. The 1996 Plymouth Neon was damaged in the accident and is not
drivable. On approximately January 23, 2004, the City of Yakima paid the claimant for the vehicle, and
took possession of the salvage. The City has no need for the damaged vehicle. Weber's Towing has made
an offer to the City to retain the vehicle and accept a payment of $1,000.00 in exchange for the towing and
storage costs of $3,712.84. The proposal has been recommended by Craig Nance of Zaremba Claims
Service as a reasonable disposition of the surplus vehicle.
