RESOLUTION NO. RS2007-2060

A resolution authorizing the Metropolitan Department of Law to compromise and settle the claim of Margie L. Childress against The Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County.

Whereas, on May 26, 2006, Julio Sanchez, an employee of The Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County Water Services Department, while operating a vehicle owned by the Metropolitan Government, was involved in an accident which caused personal injury to the claimant; and,

Whereas, after investigation and discovery, the Department of Law believes that the settlement listed in Section 1 is fair and reasonable and in the best interest of the Metropolitan Government, and recommends that the claim be compromised and settled for an amount not to exceed $250,000.00, and that this amount be paid from the Self Insured Liability Fund.

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

Section 1: The Metropolitan Department of Law is authorized to compromise and settle the claim of Margie L. Childress in an amount totaling $250,000.00. Said amount shall be paid from the Self Insured Liability Fund.
