RESOLUTION NO. RS2015-33

A resolution authorizing the Metropolitan Department of Law to compromise and settle the personal injury claim of Donna Seltzer, as next of kin for Roger Seltzer (deceased), against the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County in the amount of $15,000.00, and that said amount be paid out of the Self-Insured Liability Fund.

WHEREAS, on May 13, 2011, Roger Setlzer was riding home on his motor scooter on Brick Church Lane when he came over a hill and hit a large tree limb that had fallen into the roadway.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE METROPOLITAN GOVERNMENT OF NASHVILLE AND DAVIDSON COUNTY:
