Mr. Wall: The damage done to his property was done prior to the acquisition of the property next door by the Land Bank. Authority. Risk Management has looked at this situation and reviewed it with me. It is not a claim that the county has liability for and his claim, if any, would be against the previous owner because it was on private property at the time the limbs fell. I would recommend denial of the claim. Mr. Kuhlke: 1'd like to make a motion that we accept this as information and that if we identify that we owned the property when the damage occurred, that we assist Mr. Golden and if not, then he doesn't have a claim with us.

Mr. Beard: I second that for discussion. Ms. Pelaez: Our costs would increase if we eliminated this clause, and our employees are informed at orientation that they should not sign up for our insurance coverage if they have coverage with another company. Mr. Beard: I'm going to make a substitute motion that we do some further investigation on this and bring it back at the next meeting. Mr. Kolb: I'd recommend that you consider this at the Commission meeting. Mr. Beard: I'll accept that. I Mr. Kuhlke: Second. (V ote on substitute motion) Motion adopted unanimously.
