RECOMMENDATION(S):

RECEIVE this report concerning the final settlement of Richard Carpenter and AUTHORIZE payment from the Workers' Compensation Internal Service Fund in an amount not to exceed $98,000, less permanent disability payments.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Workers' Compensation Internal Service Fund payment of $98,000, less permanent disability payments.

BACKGROUND:

Attorney William R. Thomas, defense counsel for the County, has advised the County Administrator that within authorization an agreement has been reached settling the workers' compensation claim of Richard Carpenter vs Contra Costa County Fire District. The Board's July 7, 2015 closed session vote was: Supervisor Gioia, Andersen, Piepho and Mitchoff - Yes. Supervisor Glover - Absent. This action is taken so that the terms of this final settlement and the earlier July 7, 2015 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.
