HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
CITY ATTORNEY
CLAIM OF PACIFIC BELL; CLAIM NO. 03-05
SUMMARY:
The City Council is being asked to consider a claim by Pacific Bell for alleged damages
to one of their facilities.
RECOMMENDATION:
After investigation and review, it is recommended that the City Council deny the claim
and send notice thereof to the claimant and the claimant's attorneys.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
DISCUSSION:
Pacific Bell alleges that some of their cable and a cable terminal were removed and
damaged during the demolition of a City-owned building. The building in question is the
old Main Street Water Facility. The alleged damage is for $915.60. So far, our
investigation is not clear as to what the damage was, what it was caused by and by
who. However, it appears that whatever damage was done, was done by a contractor
and who would be responsible for paying the claim. This claim is being tendered to
SSC, the contractor on the Main Street job.
