Title

Reject Claim of Steve Bradley and the F/V Sound Adventure

 

Summary

On August 12, 2016, the City received a claim from attorney C. Joseph Ou on behalf of Steve Bradley and the F/V Sound Adventure. The claim demanded indemnity from the City of Fort Bragg for the injuries to Florencio Hernandez Castaneda who allegedly was injured on or about March 5, 2013 when he sllipped and fell on the Noyo Harbor docks. The claim was forwarded to Redwood Empire Municipal Insurance Fund (REMIF) for review and direction.

REMIF's General Manager reviewed the claim and recommended that it be placed on an agenda for City Council rejection, as the location of the incident is not within City Limits and is therefore not in the City's jurisdiction. A copy of the claim and the proposed rejection letter are attached for Council's review. If the claim is rejected by the City Council, the City Clerk will issue the Notice of Rejection and advise REMIF that the claim has been rejected.
