Jenkinsburg council denies Morgan & Morgan demand and authorizes insurance claim to repair firetruck
Summary
Council voted to deny a June 16 anti-litem demand from Morgan & Morgan and authorized the city attorney to relay the denial; the council also approved submitting an insurance claim to repair the city firetruck. Both motions passed unanimously.
At its July 14, 2025 meeting, the Jenkinsburg City Council voted to deny an anti-litem demand notice from the law firm Morgan & Morgan dated June 16, 2025, and authorized the city attorney to relay the council’s decision to the firm. The motion to deny the demand was moved by Mayor Pro-Tem Jason Watts, seconded by Gary Roberts, and passed with a unanimous vote by the council members present.
Earlier in the meeting the council briefly went into executive session with City Attorney Kent Lawrence to discuss possible litigation; the minutes record the motion to enter and a unanimous vote to do so but do not disclose details discussed in executive session. After returning to open session, the denial of the Morgan & Morgan demand was moved and approved.
The council also authorized submitting an insurance claim to the city’s insurer to fund necessary repairs to the municipal firetruck so it can be returned to full operational and roadworthy condition. Jason Watts moved to authorize the claim and Gary Brown seconded; that motion likewise passed by unanimous vote.
Both actions were recorded as formal motions with seconders and 5-0 recorded votes. The minutes do not provide further detail on the subject matter of the Morgan & Morgan demand, the nature or estimated cost of the firetruck damage, or the carrier handling the claim. The council adjourned at 8:25 p.m.
