Claim Against the City of Dubuque by John Kass
C7
Date of Claim Date of Loss Nature of Claim
03/14/08 ~ 02/08/08 Vehicle Damage
This is a claim in which the claimant alleges that the rear wheel and rim of his vehicle
were damaged after he struck a pothole in the 1700 block of Asbury Road.
According to the report of John Klostermann, Street & Sewer Maintenance Supervisor,
Public Works records show that the City of Dubuque Public Works Department had
crews patching holes on Asbury Road prior to this incident on February 2"a Stn and 7t".
It is Mr. Klostermann's opinion that the Public Works Department made several
attempts to respond to these pothole hazards as they developed.
It is therefore the recommendation of John Klostermann to deny this claim of $81.75 as
filed due to the efforts of the Public Works Department to repair the hazards in a timely
manner. The City Attorney's Office concurs with this recommendation.
