Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Tustin
FROM' City Attorney
DATE:
RE:
January 13, 1997
Claim of Nancy Frey; Claim No. 96-46
RECOMMENDATION'
After review and investigation by the City's claims administrators, it is recommended
that the City Council deny the claim and direct the City Clerk to send notice thereof to the
claimant and the claimant's attorney.
DISCUSSION:
This is a claim for approximately $286.46 in car rental expenses and insurance
de. ductible due to alleged damages to claimant's car. The claimant contends that a branch
of a City tree dropped on top of claimant's car damaging the paint and body. City staff
confirms that high winds caused a tree branch from a City owned tree to fall on claimant's
car. However, the tree was properly maintained; it had been trimmed in accordance with
the tree trimming schedule, and there was no notice of a dangerous condition of public
property. Unfortunately, this was damage caused by an "act of God" and not a case of
liability for the City.
