RECOMMENDATION(S):

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

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

BACKGROUND:

Attorney Gregory M. Stanfield, defense counsel for the County, has advised the County Administrator that within authorization an agreement has been reached settling the workers' compensation claim of Brandon Freitas v. Contra Costa County. The Board's July 24, 2018 vote was: Supervisors Gioia, Andersen, Burgis, Mitchoff and Glover - Yes. This action is taken so that the terms of the final settlement and the earlier July 24, 2018 closed session vote of this Board authorizing its negotiated settlement is known publicly.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Case will not be settled.
