FINANCIAL STATEMENT: Claim alleges $1 .5 - $3 million in damages.
DESCRIPTION: On May 23, 1990, the City received a claim submitted on

The claim alleges that on November 25, 1989, Dublin Police Services

contains standard hold harmless and indemnification clauses. The denial of
the claim will protect the City's legal rights related to the time period
for filing a legal action.
Staff recommends that the City Council deny the claim and direct Staff to
notify the claimant.
