Discuss new claims 1) Kathleen Daly, 025 Green Street, Martinez, CA 94553 Staff reported that the District received a claim from Ms. Daly alleging that the District accessed Ms. Daly’s property without her permission. 2) Fireman’s Fund for 119 El Centro, Diablo, CA 94528 Staff reported that as part of a District main line replacement project, digging occurred in the front yard of an older home in Diablo to identify where the lateral was located. Later that weekend, the lateral broke under the home. The lateral was connected to the new sewer main line three days after the lateral broke. Fireman’s Fund contacted the District and has subrogated the expense to repair the line for the homeowner, stating that the District was responsible for the break due to the sewer construction project. Staff is recommending denying the claim because it does not appear that the District’s activities caused the break in the homeowners’ lateral. COMMITTEE ACTION: Discussed new claims. The Committee agreed with staff’s recommendation to deny the claim from Fireman’s Fund. 5. Expenditures a.
