Summary
During the meeting’s report out of closed session, staff said the board unanimously approved settlements for three households and delegated limited settlement authority for six other households related to claims from the Sept. 20 airport fire; finalized documents will be available from the office of CEO risk management.
A staff member reporting out of closed session told the Orange County board it unanimously approved settlement amounts for claims arising from the Sept. 20 airport fire and delegated limited settlement authority on additional claims to risk management and outside counsel.
The clerk reported that the board "unanimously approved the settlement amounts of $550,000 for the Parks household, $1,750,000 for the Schaller household, and $160,000 for the Beauchamp household." The speaker added that when finalized, "copies will be made available through the office of CEO risk management to any person who inquires."
The clerk also said the board "unanimously authorized and delegated limited settlement authority to risk management and outside counsel to settle and resolve" claims for the Gorski, Varenejad, Hoffman, Levier, Nicholson and Wasco households. The staff speaker stated the board took no other reportable action in closed session.
The transcript does not record who moved or seconded the approvals, nor does it list individual vote tallies beyond the statement that the actions were "unanimous." The finalized settlement documents and details about delegated authority are to be made available by the office of CEO risk management.
