| AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
Consider a motion denying liability and offer of compromise contained in purported ante litem notice letter, dated September 26, 2016, from attorney Anitra R. Price on behalf of Tammy Jordan, et al., alleging Wrongful Death of former Griffin Police Officer Kevin Jordan, who was killed May 31, 2014. City Attorney Drew Whalen will address.
| SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS OR CONCERNS: |
O.C.G.A. 36-33-5 requires service of an ante litem notice within six months of the occurrence giving rise to a claim for monetary damages. In this case, Officer Jordan was killed on May 31, 2014 and the purported ante litem notice was not purportedly served on the City until September 27, 2016. It further appears that the City has no liability for Wrongful Death and the only alleged basis is Claimant's dissatifaction with responses to Open Records Requests for records the City had no duty to create nor maintain.
Denial of the Claim.
As is the City's normal risk management practice, the City has filed notice of claim with the Georgia Interlocal Risk Management Agency in which the City is a participating Member. GIRMA will provide claims adjustment and defense, as well as pay any resulting legal liability. The City has a $25,000 deductible per claim. | | | |
