ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Siegel
Is there any insurance from a third party that might be involved in this? It was totaled but there was no
circumstances given in which it was totaled.
Mr. Kooken
There were no citations issued. There was no insurance claim on this. Risk self-insures.
Alderman Siegel
| understand the way Risk Management works, and | understand our self-insurance. This implies that this
vehicle was totaled as pretty much a 100 percent of the fault of a city employee driving it. If that’s the case,
fine. | understand. If not, | would think there would be some sort of a settlement that would be claimed from a
third party.
Mr. Kooken
I’m not aware of anything being pursued on that at all.
Alderman Wilshire
What is the $4,000 reimbursement from the Risk Department about?
Mr. Kooken
That’s what they assigned as the value of the totaled vehicle.
Alderman Siegel
I’m okay with the expense. Can we at least have some sort of a follow up at some point with finding out if we
can get a bit of reimbursement on that?
Mr. Kooken
| can follow up with Risk and see if they took any additional steps beyond what | was aware of.
Mayor Donchess
I’m sure you will be at our next meeting and could report back next time.
MOTION CARRIED
UNFINISHED BUSINESS — None
