A resolution authorizing the Metropolitan Department of Law to compromise and settle the Metropolitan Government’s property damage claim against Trina Underwood.

WHEREAS, on March 27, 2009, Trina Underwood was traveling west on Charlotte Avenue approaching the intersection of 21st Avenue North and Charlotte.
