The attached Claims Settlement Policy would be the procedure used by the City Council, pending future revision and modification as new case law/statutory amendments occur. Resolution _ Ordinance Contract Other(Specify) Motion. Claims Settlement Policy & Form Resolution, Funding Source APPROVED FOR SUBMITTAL: City Manager STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Pass Motion "I move that the attached Claims Settlement Policy and Form Resolution approving Quarterly Insurance Claims Reports be adopted and approved." BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: COUNCIL ACTION: Report and staff recommendation accepted. (lslagenda'claims stlmt plcy.rp CLAThiS SETTLEMENT POLICY 1. The Yakima City Council recognizes that settlement of litigation is a very sensitive matter. Disclosure of information regarding such negotiations, particularly during the performance of those agreements, could work to the city's financial disadvantage. The Council must attempt to balance the public's right to know against the public's right to insist upon prudent settlement of claims to the greatest financial advantage of city tax payers. 2. The Council will meet in executive session for the purpose of discussing with its attorney any anticipated or pending litigation. The substance of those conversations will be held in confidence as attorney-client privileged communication. 3. The Council may authorize its attorney, during executive session, to make specific offers to settle pending claims. The minutes of the executive session should reflect the fact of authorization but not the details of the specific offer. 4. If the Council authorizes an offer of settlement which is accepted 'by the other party, the final agreement between the parties may be reduced to writing. If so, the writing itself will be disclosed by the City Council at such time as that can be done without financial or legal disadvantage to the City of Yakima 5. The Council intends to affirm, approve or ratify and to disclose the terms of settlement of pending disputes in open public meeting; except, such disclosure may be delayed to a time when such disclosure can occur without the danger of financial disadvantage to the city. This information will normally be contained within the quarterly insurance claims report; however, if appropriate, a specific resolution for this purpose may be adopted. f:\clients\dws\vakima\council.mem 012494 dws dv 4
