TRANSMITTAL LETTER FOR BOARD MEETING OF MAY 18, 2017
COMMITTEE ON JUDICIARY
Mr. David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Title
Authority to settle the Property Loss Claim of Roman Schlaeger, Claim AP 1392, in the sum of $29,541.07 arising out of the April 28, 2016 Glencoe Sewer Event, Account 901-30000-667220
Body
Dear Sir:
On April 28, 2016 at approximately 4 a.m., the District was notified that a local sewer adjacent to the District manhole that was undergoing emergency repairs was overwhelmed due to an overnight storm. A number of homes near the site of this repair work experienced damage from sewer backup. Although no personal injuries were reported for this event, there were some damages to the homes and personal property located inside the homes.
Roman Schlaeger, the owner of a single family dwelling at 256 Lincoln Drive Glencoe, Illinois, sustained damages to his property that required emergency clean up services and repairs to the damaged home. There was also personal property that was damaged as a result of this sewer event. Upon review of the losses that were submitted, it was determined that the sustained damages are reasonable and that it is in the District’s best interest to pay this claim. Negotiations between the parties have resulted in an agreement in the amount of $29,541.07 to settle this claim.
The Director of Human Resources believes this settlement is in the best interest of the District and requests payment of that sum be approved and she be authorized to execute such documents as may be necessary to effect the settlement.
Requested, Beverly K. Sanders, Director of Human Resources, BKS:RAJ:RG
Respectfully Submitted, Mariyana T. Spyropoulos, Chairman Committee on Judiciary
Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for May 18, 2017
