RECOMMENDATION(S):

RECEIVE this report concerning the final settlements of LeRhonda Birden and AUTHORIZE payment from the Workers' Compensation Internal Service Fund in an amount not to exceed $145,000, less disability advances.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Workers' Compensation Internal Service Fund payment of $145,000, less permanent disability payments.

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 claims of LeRhonda Birden v. Contra Costa County. The Board's March 13, 2018 vote was: Supervisors Gioia, Andersen, Burgis, Mithoff and Glover - Yes. This action is taken so that the terms of the final settlements and the earlier March 13, 2018 closed session vote of this Board authorizing its negotiated settlements are known publicly.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Case will not be settled.
