A RESOLUTION ACCEPTING STIPULATION FOR OUT OF COURT SETTLEMENT
WITH LAWRENCE A. CHUBB
WHEREAS, certain litigation was brought against the City of Fridley by Lawrence A. Chubb
due to a work related injury dated October 8, 1985; and
WHEREAS, that on or about the date of injury the City of Fridley was insured for its Minnesota
workers' compensation liability by Home Insurance Company, which has since filed bankruptcy
and is in liquidation, therefore requiring the City of Fridley to be self - insured for its Minnesota
workers' compensation liability; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Chubb and the City of Fridley desire to compromise and settle their differences
and waive their rights to a formal hearing; and
WHEREAS, the city's failure to approve this settlement would expose the City to further
financial risks exceeding the costs to the City of this settlement; and
WHEREAS, the City Council authorized the City's legal counsel to enter into a settlement on
April 28, 2005, and the City's legal counsel has strongly recommended the settlement is fair and
reasonable, and that it would be most prudent for the City to approve this settlement.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Fridley, Anoka
County, Minnesota, that the City of Fridley accept the Stipulation of Settlement dated May 13,
2005, in the sum of $55,000, in full, final and complete settlement of any and all workers'
compensation claims, past, present or future, direct or consequential arising out of the
employee's work - related injury of October 8, 1985, with the exception of future medical
expenses which are deemed reasonable and necessary.
