MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Ky Spangler, City Clerk
DATE: 01/06/2021 Regular Meeting
SUBJECT: Consider Rejection of Claim from Mayta Welnak Welbat
BACKGROUND
The City received the above referenced claim on December 22, 2020. A copy of the
claim is provided to the City Council under separate cover. The claim was forwarded to
the City’s Claims Adjuster, Carl Warren & Company (Carl Warren), for review. Pursuant
to Moorpark Municipal Code Section 3.14.060, the City Council has sole authority to
allow, compromise, or settle claims for an amount in excess of $50,000.
DISCUSSION
The stated reason for the claim is an indemnity claim for cross-complaint against the
City of Moorpark for a personal injury claim that occurred due to a bicycle fall on a City
sidewalk. Carl Warren has recommended that a standard rejection letter be sent to the
claimant. The claim submitted for this incident in in excess of the City Manager’s
$50,000 authority provided under the Moorpark Municipal Code, and therefore City
Council action is required to formally reject the claim.
FISCAL IMPACT
No known fiscal impact.
COUNCIL GOAL COMPLIANCE
This action does not support a current strategic directive.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Reject the claim and direct staff to send a standard rejection letter to the claimant.
