All claims listed in this report were resolved and settled pursuant to the City Council's prior annual Resolution authorizing the City Manager to settle claims against or by the City in an amount of $50,000 or less, and Resolution No. R-2017-125 was adopted on October 17, 2017. All payment amounts listed on the C IAW report show the amount paid by the City of Yakima toward the settlement within the City's $100,000 insurance deductible. The City Council previously authorized settlement on one claim in the report pursuant to a Resolution. In the case of Keith Schrank v. Cyr and City of Yakima, Yakima County Superior Court Case No. 15-2-00375-4, the City Council adopted Resolution No. R-2017-098 on August 1, 2017, which authorized settlement of the case for $250,000, which entire amount was paid by CIAW and the City's insurance carrier Munich Reinsurance. The City of Yakima paid no money toward settlement of the case. In the case of Cara Lovell, individually, and VanNoy Culpepper, Trustee for the Bankruptcy Estate of Cara Lovell, EDWA #15-731 v. City of Yakima, U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Washington No. 16-cv-3214-TOR, the attached CIAW report lists the amount paid by the City, which was $23,751.69. The total settlement amount was $50,000, and the balance of $26,248.31 was paid by CIAW because the City had reached its CIAW deductible. The report includes information for the first quarter 2018: (1) CIAW claim summary by type of claim; (2) C I AW claim summary by department; (3) C I AW closed claims for the 1st Quarter 2018; and (4) W ST I P closed claims for the 1st Quarter 2018.
