AGENDA TITLE: Application for Leave to Present Late Claim for Carlos Tobar, Date of Loss
3/18/07
MEETING DATE: December 19,2007
PREPARED BY: Randi Johl, City Clerk
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Deny, by motion action, the following Application for Leave to
Present Late Claim:
Mr. Carlos Tobar
Date of Loss: March 18, 2007
Claim Filed: October 12, 2007
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Mr. Tobar presented a claim for alleged property damage resulting
from a tree limb falling on his vehicle. The claim was filed on
October 12, 2007, approximately 3 '/2 weeks after the expiration of
the relevant statute. The statute, as set forth in the Government
Code, specifically requires that the claim be filed within a six-month period from the date of occurrence.
Mr. Tobar has not shown due diligence in attempting to file the claim in a timely manner and ignorance of
the law does not warrant granting the application. It is, therefore, respectfully requested that the City
Council deny the Application for Leave to Present a Late Claim.
FISCAL IMPACT: $1,200 (Amount of Claim).
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not Applicable.
