BACKGROUND
On December 8, 2003, the City received the above referenced claims
for damages. The claims were forwarded to the City's claims adjuster
for review.
DISCUSSION
The claims are for general damages from a trip and fall incident that
is alleged to have occurred on June 12, 2003, on a City maintained
sidewalk located on Peach Hill Road near the east driveway entrance
to the Moorpark Presbyterian Church. Generally, the claims describe
two persons falling when a piece of the sidewalk concrete broke
loose. The City's claim adjuster has described the chip in the
sidewalk as a trivial defect. The City had no notice of this latent
defect within the cement.
The City's claim adjuster has recommended that a standard rejection
letter be sent to the claimants.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Reject the claims and direct staff to send a standard rejection
letter to the claimants.
