COUNCIL ACTION
ITEMS FOR DISCUSSIONIPOSSIBLE ACTION
D 1: ordinance No. 2014.022 Relating to Administration; amending Marana Town Code Title 3
(Administration); adding new Chapter 3 -5 entitled "Claims and Settlement "; and designating an
effective date (Jane Fairall). Ms. Fairall noted that this ordinance gives the Legal Department
and the Town Manager the authority to settle minor property damage claims under $15,000.
Council Member Bowen asked for clarification that the $15,000 is per claim and the potential
for multiple claims in a given fiscal year. Ms. Fairall responded that there is a possibility of a
half dozen claims in a fiscal year, but normally the small claims are under $500 and she didn't
recall any claims approaching $15,000 that we either haven't sent to the insurance company
pursuant to our coverage agreement or brought to Council. For purposes of this discussion, the
claims are a rock in a windshield or a minor car accident. There is nothing in the ordinance that
would prevent staff from coming to Council for direction. Staff would continue to use its good
judgment to update Council on the types of claims we are dealing with. Motion to approved by
Council Member Kai, second by Council Member Bowen. Passed unanimously 6-0.
D2: Relating to Legislation and Government Actions; discussion and possible action regarding
all pending state, federal, and local legislation/government actions and on recent and upcoming
