HUSTON, CITY MANAGER FROM: KRISTI RECCHIA, DIRECTOR OF HUMAN RESOURCES SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF CLAIM OF ALEX NAGHIBI, CLAIM NO. 10-04 SUMMARY: The Claimant alleges that roots from a City tree created blockage in his sewer lateral. RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council deny Claim Number 10-04, Alex Naghibi, and direct Staff to send notice thereof to the Claimant. FISCAL IMPACT: None. DISCUSSION: The City's Claims Administrator, NovaPro, has completed their investigation and concludes that there is no liability on the part of the City. The responsibility to maintain the sewer lateral belongs to the homeowner. Roots do not enter and grow inside a sewer line unless there is a break, crack or offset in the line which then causes leaking and attracts the roots to the water. Additionally, the plumber who worked on the line ran a video cable, which found debris that had been flushed down the toilets, but did not find evidence of roots. Staff is recommending denial of the claim.
