Vehicle Damage
This is a claim in which the claimant alleges that a City of Dubuque plow truck struck his
parked vehicle in front of 2316/2320 Harvest View Drive, damaging the rear-end of his
vehicle.
According to the report of John Klostermann, Street/Sewer Maintenance Supervisor,
records show that on January 17, 2004 an Operations and Maintenance Department snow
and ice control truck struck Mr. Schmitt's parked vehicle during an ice storm.
It is therefore the recommendation of John Klostermann to approve this claim for the
amount of the estimate of $211.77. The Legal Department concurs with this
recommendation.
