HomeMy WebLinkAboutRE_ Jones ClaimHi Mariana:
Sounds good. We will instruct Carl Warren to pay Ms. Jones the total amount of her damages and then invoice the City for the value of the taxes.
I don’t think we need anything else from you at this point but will let you know if that changes.
Thanks

Hi Alex,
Thank you. If possible, we want to include the taxes, and pay her for the entire claim amount. We agree with you, we want her to walk away with goodwill towards the City.
Please let me know if you need anything else from us. Will CJPIA let Carl Warren know?

Subject: Jones Claim
Hello:
I spoke with Paul and he is comfortable resolving the Jones claim. We can have Carl Warren contact Ms. Jones, obtain a release, issue payment etc.
I also wonder if it makes sense for the City to pay the additional $1,200 in taxes that she is claiming. If we are going to pay her claim, we should try to ensure she walks away with
some level of goodwill towards the City. She probably won’t feel good if we try to short change (from her perspective) her on the settlement.
Feel free to discuss internally and then let me know how you want to proceed.
Thanks
