Report
SUBMITTED BY: Helen 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 1st
Quarter 2019. 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 $100,000 insurance deductible.
The City Council previously authorized settlement on one closed claim in the report by prior
Resolution. In the case of Lorena Arias, Special Administrator for the Estate of Rocendo Arias

the City of Yakima, U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Washington Case No. CV-16-
3213-SAB, the City Council adopted Resolution No. R-2018-003 on January 2, 2018, which
authorized settlement of the case for$500,000, which entire amount was paid by CIAW and
reinsurer Munich Reinsurance to settle all claims in the lawsuit that was filed November 22, 2016.
The City paid no money toward the settlement since it had reached its deductible of$100,000.
The report includes information for the first quarter 2019: (1) CIAW claim summary by type of
claim; (2) CIAW claim summary by department; (3) CIAW closed claims for the 1st Quarter
2019; and (4)WSTI P closed claims for the 1st Quarter 2019. Adopting the attached claims
resolution affirms and ratifies the payments made by the City of Yakima on claims closed during
the 1st Quarter of 2019 as listed in the reports.
