Sonoma County Board approves $476,145 settlement in Jamie Rodriguez workers' compensation case
Summary
In closed session the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a $476,145 compromise and release in the workers' compensation case of Jamie Rodriguez and directed Human Resources to execute settlement documents.
The Sonoma County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously in closed session to approve a $476,145 settlement in the workers' compensation matter of Jamie Rodriguez v. County of Sonoma.
County council Pittman reported to the Board after the closed session that the settlement was approved "by a vote of 5 to 0" and that the Board had directed the Human Resources Director or a designee to execute all documents necessary to effectuate the compromise and release. The report did not provide further factual detail about the underlying claim or the allocation of the payment.
The settlement was one of three items the Board discussed during a special closed session called at the end of an open meeting. The open meeting began with a unanimous approval of the day's agenda and included one public commenter who urged the county to consider pension liabilities and to retain bilingual administrative leadership.
No member of the public questioned or debated the settlement at the time of the report out. The record reflects the Board's vote tally and the directive to Human Resources but does not include additional details such as the funding source for the payment or any payment schedule.
The Board adjourned the meeting following the report out.
