RESOLUTION NO. RS2004-241

A resolution authorizing the Metropolitan Department of Law to compromise and settle the claims of David Greer, Ethel Greer, Thomas David Greer and Tony Lane Greer against the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County for the amount of $85,000, and directing that this amount be paid from the Self Insured Liability Account.

Whereas, a lawsuit based on claims of negligence was filed by the plaintiffs in the First Circuit Court for Davidson County, Tennessee; and

Whereas, after investigation, the Department of Law believes the settlement amount as set forth in Section 1 is fair and reasonable and recommends that this case be compromised and settled for a total amount of $85,000, to 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:
