Re: Sewer Maintenance Agreement and Release
Dear Mr. Bertolino:
MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
DIANE L. BATHGATE
JOHN S. GELFF
JOHN GREINER
MATT HART
DAWD M. SWEROLIN
CITY MANAGER
GEORGE SCARBOROUGH
As you know, we have agreed to a solution with respect to your claim filed with the City on February 20,
2001 with respect to damages you incurred due to a sewer back up condition that occurred on February 21,
2000. This letter shall serve as a letter agreement to memorialize our agreed upon solution.
The elements of the solution are as follows:
1. The City agrees to pay you $3,485.00 as compensation for damages incurred as a result of this
occurrence on February 21, 2000. The City makes this gesture as a matter of good will even though a clear
100% causal connection between City owned property and the property damage has not been clearly
established. In this regard, you agree to waive and withdraw any other claims of any kind against the City
with respect to the occurrence on February 21, 2000.
2. In addition, City further agrees to contribute up to $750.00 annually toward a maintenance of the
subject sewer lateral line on your property. The purpose of this annual maintenance activity will be to insure
that tree roots do not interrupt sewer service within the lateral line. It is agreed that any other urgency clean
out service arising out of such matters as grease clogging or toilet backups within the control and
responsibility of the property owner shall not be the responsibility of the City.
3. You shall arrange for the contracting of the annual maintenance of the sewer line and shall provide
receipts of said service to City prior to City making payment to you.
If these terms reflect our discussions, please sign, belo - . Thank you for your cooperation and patience.
Very Truly,
4 000 4e
