Title
Substitute resolution to settle claim of James Fields for tow lot costs.
Body
 
Whereas, Members of the Judiciary and Legislation Committee have reviewed the records relating to the towing of the claimant's vehicle, and have taken testimony from the claimant and City representatives.  Despite the recommendation of the City Attorney, members of the Committee believe it is most cost-effective to compromise and reduce the amount claimed from $462.30 to $243.00.  The amount recommended for settlement of the claim, $243.00, represents reimbursement for towing and storage fees, along with a parking fee for a court appearance related to this incident; now, therefore, be it
 
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 $243.00 payable to James Fields, 3038 N. 7th Street, Milwaukee, WI  53212, to reimburse him for tow lot costs; 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.  This resolution would release the City from any further liability arising from this incident.
