adoption:
RESOLUTION NO. 89 -214
RESOLUTION APPROVING CLAIMS FOR SEWER BACK UP DAMAGES
WHEREAS, on October 2, 1989, the City experienced a sewer lift station
failure at Lift Station No. 1 and Lift Station No. 10 which caused sewage to back
up at two homes and cause damage; and
WHEREAS, the cause of the back up has been determined to be a
malfunction of the lift stations alarm system which may have resulted from a
lightning strike; and
WHEREAS, the claims adjuster for the City's insurance carrier has
determined that the City is not liable for the damage and subsequently denied
the claims; and
WHEREAS, on January 31, 1985, a similar incident happened and caused
damages to fourteen homes in the City, including the two homes damaged on
October 2, 1989; and
WHEREAS, the City's insurance carrier denied the claims, whereupon
the City Council did direct payment of the claims and attempted recovery
from the installer of the alarm system; and
WHEREAS, the October 2, 1989 circumstances were almost identical to
those of January 31, 1985.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Brooklyn Center to approve the claims to the home owners and in the amounts
