We can appreciate your desire to be reimbursed for the damage to your insured's property. However, the City is not absolutely liable for damages caused by property owned by it and it is both cost prohibitive and impractical to expect city crews to anticipate every possible condition that may cause damage. The city only becomes liable under the provision of Section 830 of the Government Code if a dangerous condition of City property existed which the city could have protected against upon reasonable notice. In this case the City had no notice of any structural defect in the tree. Rather the damage was due to an act of nature over which the City had no control. Under such circumstances the fact that the tree that was involved in the incident was a City tree is immaterial inasmuch as it was really an act of nature that caused the damage. The City of Palm Desert has a regular maintenance schedule and also conducts corrective maintenance when notified of problems. This action does not, however, make the city responsible for your damage. Under these circumstances there is no legal basis to justify payment to reimburse you for the damage to your property. We are sorry we are unable to recommend settlement of your claim. Very Truly Yours, CARL WARREN & CO. Ti +� M. Varo-w Timothy M. Varon Claims Specialist AN EMPLOYEE -OWNED COMPANY 770 S.
