Senior Administrative Analyst
SUBJECT: Damage to City Property — Settlement
On November 26, 2016, Heriberto Alvarado Suarez, hit and knocked down a traffic
signal pole and destroyed the communication box located at Kerner and Bellam Blvd.
DC Electric did the repairs to the pole and property. They sent an invoice to DPW in the
amount of $4,752.73. DPW prepared and sent a cost report to Finance. In turn, Finance
sent an invoice to Mr. Suarez. His insurance company responded with a settlement
amount of $3,036.60, $1,716.13 short of the full amount owed.
DPW was notified by the Marin County Probation Department, Adult Services Division
that the City could seek to recover the full amount through the restitution process with the
Court. DPW emailed Lonnie Morris, Deputy Probation Officer for a recommendation on
how to proceed. He advised the following:
In reviewing the claim letter your agency submitted dated 2-2-17 for $4,752.73, 1 would
accept their offer (for $3,036 60). Currently this defendant's whereabouts are unknown
and his mailing is being returned.
Please sign the attached Release Form. DPW will return it to the insurance company and
will follow up with them for payment.
Thank you.
