RECOMMENDATION(S):

RECEIVE this report concerning the final settlement of Marvin Lopez and AUTHORIZE payment from the Workers' Compensation Internal Service Fund in an amount not to exceed $142,500 less permanent disability advances.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Workers' Compensation Internal Service Fund payment of $142,500 less permanent disability advances.

BACKGROUND:

Attorney Mark A. Cartier, defense counsel for the County, has advised the County Administrator that within authorization an agreement has been reached settling the workers' compensation claim of Marvin Lopez vs. Contra Costa County Sheriff/Coroner. The Board's February 12, 2013 closed session vote was: Supervisors Gioia, Andersen, Piepho, Mitchoff and Glover – Yes. This action is taken so that the terms of this final settlement and the earlier February 12, 2013 closed session vote of this Board authorizing its negotiated settlement are known publicly.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Case will not be settled.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

None.
