Closed Door Sessions: 9.1

Title: Possible Motion to Adjourn to a Closed Door Session to receive information from the City Attorney regarding litigation involving a matter in which the Sparks City Council has supervision and control to settle. (NRS 241.015(B)(2))

Petitioner/Presenter: Chet Adams/Chet Adams

Recommendation: I move to adjourn to an attorney client closed door session in order to listen to our attorney’s advice concerning a possible final settlement of a claim against the City.

Financial Impact: An expenditure of $38,000.00 will be necessary if the City Council approves the settlement.

Business Impact (Per NRS 237):
A Business Impact Statement is not required because this is not a rule.

Agenda Item Brief: Possible final resolution of a claim presented to the City by Ms. Dana Shugar resulting from a fall over a raised section of asphalt at Burgess Park.

Background: The City received a claim from Ms. Dana Shugar. The City’s Risk Management Committee approved the settlement amount reached between the City Attorney and Ms. Dana Shugar. Pursuant to the negotiations, and upon the recommendation of the City Attorney and Risk Management Committee, the City Council is now being asked to approve the settlement of the claim for $38,000.00.

Analysis: The Risk Management Committee, through Mannos and Associates, has investigated this matter and believes that settlement is the most cost effective manner in which to resolve this matter.

Alternatives: The City Council could accept or deny the settlement based upon information it receives from the City Attorney during the attorney client session.

Recommended Motion: I move to adjourn to an attorney client closed door session in order to listen to our attorney’s advice concerning a possible final settlement of this matter.
