BACKGROUND
The City received the above referenced claim on May 17, 2021. 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 3.14.0 60, 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 damage done to real property located at 15049
Varsity Street, Unit D, of which the claimant is a renter. The damage sustained was
caused by a fallen tree as a result of a windstorm on January 19, 2021, rendering the
unit unhabitable. The tree which caused the damage is owned, controlled, and
maintained by the Varsity Park South Homeowners Association. Carl Warren has
recommended that a standard rejection letter be sent to the claimant. The claim
submitted for this incident is 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.
