RECOMMENDATION(S):

RECEIVE this report concerning the final settlement of Manuel Jones and AUTHORIZE payment from the Workers' Compensation Internal Service Fund in an amount not to exceed $220,000.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Workers' Compensation Internal Service Fund payment of $220,000.

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 Manuel Jones vs. Contra Costa County. The Board's April 18, 2023 closed session vote was: Supervisors Andersen, Burgis, Carlson and Glover - Yes; Supervisor Gioia - Absent. This action is taken so that the terms of this final settlement and the earlier April 18, 2023 closed session vote of this Board authorizing its negotiated settlement are known publicly.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Case will not be settled.
