HomeMy WebLinkAboutFW_ Regarding claim Walter Pisarczyk 3020630.msgHi Mariana,
Here is the response email, along with attachments, from Randy to Laurie. I’m forwarding you more from Laurie that speak to this issue. At one Carl Warren had two open files on this
same claim. This may account for some confusion.
Just by way of information, there have already been meetings between CJPIA staff, legal staff, and the city regarding this claim, and potential litigation. Alex Melor or Tim Varon
may have additional information.
Randy,
Did you receive any indication the email was not received?
Thanks, Cora

of the tree from he ground to where the branches are a problem. Need photos of the whole tree. Need a photo of the Measurements itself from the ground to the problem area. If you don’t
