- Analysis -
This resolution authorizes cancellation of the balance of the Municipal Equipment Invoice No. 37933 in the amount of $6,250.00 for damages to police vehicle No. 66211 on May 12, 1993. _______________________________________________________
BODY:
Whereas, On May 12, 1993, a vehicle operated by David H. Zuelke and insured by American Family Insurance collided with police vehicle 66211 at the intersection of North 91st St. and West Good Hope Road thereby causing damages to the police vehicle in the amount of $10,500.00; and
Whereas, The lights and siren of the police vehicle were activated when it entered the intersection against a red traffic signal light and Mr. Zuelke entered the intersection with a green traffic signal light. Pursuant to witnesses' statements, both drivers' views were obstructed by a van in the intersection; and
Whereas, The damaged police vehicle was sold by sealed bid and the salvage value for said vehicle was $2,500.00. As a result, $2,000.00 is deducted for salvage value, leaving a balance due the City of $8,500.00; and
Whereas, American Family paid to its insured, David H. Zuelke, $7,644.66 for property damage and $96.07 for medical expenses and also paid $8,549.10 to William Zagorski for property damage as a result of said accident. American Family's settlement offer of $4,250.00 includes a complete mutual release of all claims and American Family will not pursue any subrogation claims against the City; and
Whereas, The Office of the City Attorney believe this offer is fair and equitable to both parties and it is in the best interests of the City to accept said offer; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee that the balance of the Municipal Equipment's Invoice No. 37933 in the amount of $6,250.00 billed to David H. Zuelke and American Family Insurance be and the same is hereby cancelled.
