AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No. 6.F.
For Meeting of: January 15, 2019
ITEM TITLE: Resolution authorizing and approving 4th Quarter 2018 claims
activity
SUBMITTED BY: Helen A. Harvey, Senior Assistant City Attorney
Steve Groom, Director of Finance & Budget
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
The purpose of this report is to provide information on claims that were closed during the 4th
Quarter 2018. 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-2018-125 was adopted on
November 6, 2018. All payment amounts listed on the CIAW report show the amount paid by the
City of Yakima toward the settlement within the City's $99,000 or$100,000 insurance deductible.
The City Council previously authorized settlement on two claims in the report by prior
Resolutions. In the case of Roy Munoz v. City of Yakima, Yakima County Superior Court Case
No. 14-2-02110-0, the City Council adopted Resolution No. R-2017-131 on November 7, 2017,
which authorized settlement of the case for$175,000, which entire amount was paid by CIAW
and the City's insurance carrier Munich Reinsurance. The City of Yakima paid no money toward
the settlement since it had reached its deductible of$99,000. In the case of Ali Akbar and Juana
M. Rezaie-Tirabadi, d/b/a Vida Home Gallery v. City of Yakima, Yakima County Superior Court
Case No. 17-2-03831-39, which involved a water main break on East Yakima Avenue on October
25, 2014, the City Council adopted Resolution No. R-2018-057 on June 19, 2018, which
authorized a final settlement payment of$214,000, which entire amount was paid by CIAW and
the City's insurance carrier Munich Reinsurance because the City had reached its deductible with
CIAW. The City of Yakima paid no money toward the final settlement payment of$214,000.
Previous payments were made by the City to the claimants in the amount of $75,872.69. The
total settlement amount on behalf of the City was $289,872.69, which included the previous
payments by the City of $75,872.69.
The report includes information for the fourth quarter 2018: (1) CIAW claim summary by type of
claim; (2) CIAW claim summary by department; and (3) CIAW closed claims for the 4th Quarter
2018. Adopting the attached claims resolution affirms and ratifies the payments made by the City
of Yakima on claims closed during the 4th Quarter of 2018 as listed in the reports.
