Council refers $5,250 property-damage claim to city attorney and insurer
Summary
A citizen claim by Daniel Pearson seeking $5,250 for personal property damage at two Main Street addresses was moved by the council for referral to the city attorney and the city's insurance carrier for disposition.
The Seward City Council moved to refer a $5,250 claim from Daniel Pearson for personal property damage at 912 and 926 Main Street to the city attorney and the city's insurance carrier for disposition.
Staff said the claim arrived late on a Friday and did not include a clear date of damage; staff's initial review suggested the damage likely dates to when a water main was replaced during a previous construction season, but they recommended forwarding the claim for formal legal and insurance review. A council member moved to forward the claim to the city attorney and insurance carrier; the motion carried on a recorded vote.
The council did not approve payment during the meeting and did not set a timetable for a response; disposition will be determined by the city attorney and the insurer.
