RECOMMENDATION(S):

RECEIVE this report concerning the final settlement of James Boswell and AUTHORIZE payment from the Workers' Compensation Internal Service Fund in an amount not to exceed $140,000, less permanent disability advances..

FISCAL IMPACT:

Workers' Compensation Internal Service Fund payment of $140,000 less permanent disability advances.

BACKGROUND:

Attorney Anne E. Hernandez, defense counsel for the County, has advised the County Administrator that within authorization an agreement has been reached settling the workers' compensation claim of James Boswell v. Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff-Coroner. The Board's April 26, 2022 closed session vote was: Supervisors Gioia, Andersen, Burgis, Mitchoff and Glover - Yes. This action is taken so that the terms of this final settlement and the earlier April 26, 2022 closed session vote of this Board authorizing its negotiated settlement are known publicly.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Case will not be settled.
