County report: board approved proposed $100,000 settlement in Agarilar crash
Summary
County counsel told the Orange County Board of Supervisors the board "unanimously approved a proposed $100,000 settlement" in Yvette Agarilar v. County of Orange, a crash on the 55 Freeway; the agreement remains subject to final approvals and will be shared with CEO risk management when finalized.
County counsel reported to the Orange County Board of Supervisors that the board met in closed session and "unanimously approved a proposed $100,000 settlement in the matter of Yvette Agarilar versus the County of Orange," stemming from a motor-vehicle collision on the 55 Freeway that injured the plaintiff and caused property damage.
The counsel said the settlement is "subject to the final approval of others" and that "copies of the agreement will be made available to the office of CEO risk management to any person who inquires" once the deal is finalized. Counsel added, "But beyond that Mr. Chairman the board took no other reportable action in closed session today."
The board did not state a mover, seconder, or individual vote tallies in the on-record announcement; counsel characterized the decision as unanimous. The settlement amount and the announced subject matter were the only specifics released in the public report.
Because the counsel said final approvals remain pending, the settlement is not yet a finalized payment. The board's public summary said copies of the executed agreement would be provided to CEO risk management and made available to members of the public on request once those approvals are complete.
The closed-session meeting was held under Government Code section 54956.9(d)(1), the counsel said, the statutory provision that permits closed discussion of pending litigation. No further details about the underlying claim or the timing of any payment were provided at the meeting.
