Fayette County approves amended $234,865 workers' compensation settlement
Summary
After returning from executive session, the Fayette County Board approved a reworked $234,865 workers' compensation settlement for Starling Johnson (transcript also spells the name "Sterling Johnson"); the amended agreement reconfigured cash and annuity distribution and was approved 5-0.
After recessing into executive session, the Fayette County Board of Commissioners returned to official session Aug. 8 and voted to approve an amended workers' compensation settlement totaling $234,865 for Starling Johnson (the minutes also spell the name as "Sterling Johnson").
County Attorney Dennis A. Davenport explained that the initial settlement amount remained unchanged but that the distribution between cash and two annuities had been reworked since the board’s earlier approval. Dennis Davenport presented the amended settlement terms to the board and recommended approval of the revised distribution.
Vice Chairman Edward Gibbons moved to approve the amended settlement; Commissioner Charles W. Oddo seconded. The motion passed 5-0. The minutes record that the payment would be made in both cash and two annuities; the minutes do not specify the exact cash amount versus annuity amounts, nor do they provide the annuity terms or payee/payment schedule.
The Board also approved the July 25, 2024 Executive Session minutes during the same return to session.
Background/clarification: The meeting minutes contain two spellings for the settlement recipient ("Starling Johnson" and "Sterling Johnson"). The minutes do not provide supporting settlement documents or annuity schedules; for authoritative payment terms and recipient spelling, request the settlement agreement from the County Attorney’s Office or the County Clerk.
