RE: Proposed Settlement for City Commission Meeting —September 12, 2013

File No. 13-00913
The attached proposed Resolution seeks authorization for settlement of all claims
against the City of Miami by the above claimant, in the amount of $125,100, excluding

permanent total disability to a third party payor by purchasing an annuity to cover this

his employment with the City of Miami.

dates of accident and has approved the recommendation of this settlement. Funds in the
amount of $125,100 are available from Account No. 50001.301001.524000.0000.00000.
