YAKIMA, WASHINGTON
AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No. 6.C.
For Meeting of: November 1, 2022
ITEM TITLE: Resolution accepting and approving 3rd Quarter2022 Claim
Report
SUBMITTED BY: Ryan Bleek, Senior Assistant City Attorney
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
The purpose of this report is to provide information on claims that were closed during the 3rd
Quarter 2022. 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 $100,000 or less, and Resolution No. R-2022-008 was adopted on January
4, 2022. All payment amounts listed on the CIAW report show the amount paid by the City of
Yakima and CIAW toward the settlement, with the City of Yakima paying up to its $100,000
insurance deductible. Intermountain Claims is the City's Third Party Administrator on claims with
incidents beginning December 1, 2019.
The report includes the following information for the 3rd quarter 2022: (1) Intermountain Claims
summary by type of claim; (2) Intermountain Claims summary by department; (3) Intermountain
Claims closed claims for the 3rd Quarter 2022; (4) CIAW summary by type of claim; (5) CIAW
summary by department; (6) CIAW closed claims for the 3rd Quarter 2022; and, (7) WSTI P
Closed Claims for the 3rd Quarter 2022. The CIAW `summary by department' does not properly
identify the department for the claims listed under the General Liability coverage section. It notes
the City of Yakima instead of Yakima Police Department as the department. CIAW advises they
are currently using a new claim system and the information showing on the report identifying the
"City of Yakima" as the department was created in the old system and imported to the new
system. CIAW advises that because of this, they are not able to make the change to reflect the
appropriate department. Adopting the attached claims resolution affirms and ratifies the
payments made by the City of Yakima on claims closed during the 3rd Quarter of 2022 as listed
in the reports.
