RECOMMENDATION(S):

RECEIVE this report concerning the final settlement of Scott Anderson and AUTHORIZE payment from the Workers' Compensation Internal Service Fund in an amount not to exceed $135,000, less permanent disability advances.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Workers' Compensation Internal Service Fund payment of $135,000, less permanent disability advances.

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 Scott Anderson v. Contra Costa County. The Board's September 10, 2019 closed session vote was: Supervisors Andersen, Burgis, Mitchoff and Glover - Yes; Supervisor Gioia - Absent. This action is taken so that the terms of this final settlement and the earlier September 10, 2019 closed session vote of this Board authorizing its negotiated settlement are known publicly.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Case will not be settled.
