Chandler, County Administrator, Joseph Baird, Assistant County <br />Administrator, Paul Bangel, County Attorney, W. Erik Olson, Director, Utility Services, and Beth <br />Jordan, Risk Manager, met on February 15, 2002 to review the workers' compensation claims of <br />William C. Tackett and to discuss the mediation held on February 12 2002. Mr. Tackett, a former <br />Chemical Technician with the Solid Waste Disposal District, has left County employment and <br />relocated in Central Florida. At the request of the County Attorney, we are not including information <br />on his medical condition in this transmittal. <br />Analysis <br />Both the County and Mr. Tackett used numerous medical experts to determine the proximate <br />cause(s) of his medical complaints and there was no agreement. With causation questionable, <br />mediation was a viable method to resolve these complex claims. At mediation, staff agreed, subject <br />to Claims Review Committee approval, to a $19,000.00 settlement with $15,113.99 to Mr. Tackett, <br />$2,650.00 in attorneys' fees and $1,236.01 in costs, including all past and future medical and <br />indemnity benefits, voluntary resignation (which has occurred) and general release. <br />Recommendation <br />N o Board action is required for this matter. The Claims Review Committee has authority to settle <br />this claim, and it is being placed on the agenda as a matter of public record. <br />FOR INFORMATION ONLY NO BOARD ACTION REQUIRED OR TAKEN. <br />March 5, 2002 <br />31 <br />141 <br />i• d '! a 1 1 cd <br />J? <br />• <br />
