RESOLUTION NO. RS2000-297

A resolution authorizing the Metropolitan Department of Law to compromise and settle the claims of James Gray, III, and Jasmine Dartis, minors, by parent and next friend Hattie Gray; Ashley Gray, deceased, by parents and next-of-kin Hattie Gray and James Gray, Jr.; and Hattie Gray and James Gray, Jr., individually, against The Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County for $110,000.00, and directing that this amount be paid from the self-insured liability fund.

Whereas, Hattie Gray, James Gray, III, Jasmine Dartis, and Ashley Gray were involved in a vehicular collision with a vehicle being pursued by Metropolitan Police Officers and they sustained personal and, in the case of Ashley Gray, fatal injuries as a result thereof; and

Whereas, the Metropolitan Department of Law believes that the settlement listed in Section 1 is fair and reasonable and recommends that this claim be compromised and settled and that this amount be paid from the Self-Insured Liability Account.

Now, therefore, be it resolved by the Council of The Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County:

Section 1.
