Title
Substitute resolution to settle claim of Jerome Gallo for personal injuries.
Body
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the proper city officers be and they hereby are authorized and directed to issue a city check in the total sum of $520.00 payable to Jerome Gallo, W191 S7354 Shore Lane, Muskego, WI 53150, to reimburse him for medical expenses for his wife, Nancy Gallo; and, be it
Further Resolved, That members have reviewed the records relating to previous street repair performed in the vicinity in the year prior to the claimant's fall, and have taken testimony from the claimant and City representatives. Based on this review, members of the Committee feel the City had done an inadequate patching job of the area when it was previously reported nearly one year prior to the incident, and believe it is most cost-effective to compromise and reduce the amount claimed from $1,041.24 to $520.00. The amount recommended for settlement of the claim, $520.00, represents reimbursement for one-half of the amount of the medical bills incurred by the claimant. This resolution would release the City from any further liability arising from this incident; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the check is to be delivered upon presentation of a proper release, approved by the City Attorney; said amount to be charged to Account No. 636505, Fund - 0001, Organization - 1490, Program - 2631, Sub Class - S118.
