On December 13, 1991, Eucalyptus Grove Apartments filed a claim
against the city of Chula vista for indemnity in connection with litigation
brought against them by Mr. George Gerber related to the death of his
daughter, Virginia, on September 21, 1990.
A Claim against the city was previously filed by Mr. Gerber and was
denied by the City Council on January 22, 1991. The City is currently
involved in litigation and it is the recommendation of counsel for the
city, Daley & Heft, concurred in by the City Attorney's office, Risk
Management and our claims administrators, Carl Warren & Company that this
claim be denied.
Claimant No. 2 : Mr. Richard L. Brannen
434 E Street
Chula Vista, CA 91910
On December 11, 1991, Mr. Brannen filed a claim against the City of
Chula vista for an amount within the jurisdiction of the Municipal Court.
Mr. Brannen alleged he received personal injuries from an incident involv-
ing a city employee in the Nature Interpretive Center parking area. The
allegations were determined to be unfounded.
Due to remote liability on the part of the City, it is our claims
administrator's recommendation, concurred in by Risk Management and the
city Attorney's Office, to deny the claim.
RECOMMENDATION: Deny the above two claims.
