BACKGROUND:
Attorney Benjamin Tolentino, defense counsel for the County, has advised the County Administrator that within authorization an agreement has been reached settling the workers' compensation claim of Cecily Buda vs. Contra Costa County Fire Protection District. The Board's July 19, 2016 closed session vote was: Supervisor Gioia, Andersen, Piepho and Glover - Yes; Supervisor Mitchoff - Absent. This action is taken so that the terms of this final settlement and the earlier July 19, 2016 closed session vote of his Board authorizing its negotiated settlement are known publicly.
