The Allegany County Ways and Means Committee approved payment of $11,985.11 to Verizon Claims Center from account CS1935.433 to settle a claim arising from a motor vehicle accident.

The board clerk requested approval of the payment and described it as a settlement for a motor vehicle accident. Committee members questioned whether Verizon had previously caused damage to county property; one member referenced the county’s roll-off truck being involved in the incident and noted the vehicle was “over height.” County counsel confirmed the recommendation to pay.

A motion to approve the payment was moved and seconded; the committee approved the settlement by voice vote.
