PROPERTY The City Administrator pointed out that as a result of the accident a couple DAMAGE of years ago when a driver drove into Gordies' Place due to a medical RELEASE issue, the City, Ramsey County, Xcel Energy, and Gordies' Place made claims against the driver's property damage insurance. The City's claim was for $2,546.64. Given the driver's policy had a limit of $25,000, the insurance company is offering a prorated settlement, which would result in $480 for the City. The Administrator recommended that the City accept the settlement offer, noting that the alternative of suing and obtaining a judgment would likely result in legal costs that would surpass and resulting settlement amount.
