RESOLUTION NO. 85 -191
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY TO PURCHASE CLAIMS ARISING
FROM THE FAILURE OF LIFT STATION #1 AND OBTAINING REIMBURSEMENT
FROM ALL RESPONSIBLE PARTIES
1
WHEREAS, on January 31, 1985, the City's Sanitary Sewer Lift Station
#1 failed to operate resulting in claims for property damage by the owners of
the fifteen single family dwellings listed on Exhibit A which is attached; and
WHEREAS, it appears that the failure or malfunction of an electrical
sensing device caused the failure, the operation of which is highly technical
in nature; and
WHEREAS, it will be difficult and expensive for affected property
owners to individually hire qualified experts to assist them in proving causation.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Brooklyn Center, that the City obtain an assignment of the damage claims from
the affected property owners and pursue reimbursement from any and all parties
who appear to be responsible, based upon existing and further investigations by
the City Manager or his designee.

(1) These were the claims as they were submitted to the City. Several claimants stated
that there were other losses upon which they had not yet set a value.
(2) The amount of claims as they are shown in the insurance adjusters' files as of
October 4, 1985 per telephone conversation on that date. These amounts are also as,
submitted to the City and probably will increase when final claims are submitted to
adjustment.
