Item No. 95-329
Date: 7-24-95
item/Subject: Order, Authorizing the Settlement of Workers
Compensation Claim
Responsible Department: City Manager
City and staff have developed a settlement with an ex -City employee,
Gregory Thomas, to settle an outstanding Workers Compensation claim.
The settlement calls for a lump sum payment of $27x500 plus
attorneys' fees of $2,700 and only medical expenses for back, neck,
and groin injuries until the date of settlement.
The ex -employee involved has numerous claims against the City dating
back to 1984. In July of 1994, this individual filed a claim for
alleged stress which was and continues to be controverted by the
City. Given the date of original injury, this case falls under prior
Workers Compensation law and represents a potential lifetime exposure
of approximately $125,000 or more. -
We believe this is an excellent settlement for the City and I would
recommend your approval.
