Orange County board reports $320,000 proposed workers' compensation settlement for retired deputy
Summary
Orange County officials reported a 4-0 approval, with one supervisor absent, of a proposed $320,000 workers' compensation settlement in the case of Joseph Vaccaro v. County of Orange; the agreement is subject to final approvals and will be made available through the CEO risk management office once finalized.
Unidentified Speaker 2, a county official reporting out from closed session, told the Orange County Board that the board "approved a proposed $320,000 workers compensation settlement to the matter of Joseph Vaccaro versus County of Orange." The vote was 4-0, with Supervisor Sarmiento absent.
The speaker said the applicant is a retired deputy sheriff who "sustained cumulative trauma to his hearing, cardiovascular system, spine, wrists, and feet." The settlement remains subject to "the final approval of others," and copies of the finalized agreement will be available through the office of CEO risk management to any person who inquires.
At the end of the report, the county official stated that "the board took no other reportable action in closed session today." The meeting then was adjourned by the chair (Unidentified Speaker 1).
The county official cited Government Code sections 54957.6 and 54956.9 as the legal bases for meeting in closed session to consider the items listed on the day's agenda. No mover or second was recorded on the public report of the closed-session outcome, and individual roll-call vote names were not provided in the public statement.
