AGENDA STAFF REPORT
AGENDA DATE: April 18, 2017
ACTION REQUESTED: Approve Claim of Rodney and Sharon Gilge.
BACKGROUND: The claimant, Rodney Gilge, (“Mr. Gilge”) claims a county employee
drove a county vehicle into the back of Mr. Gilge’s vehicle (2015
Mercedes-Benz ML 350) at a red light on Canyon Road, Ellensburg.
The total amount of the claim is $3,935.66. Kittitas County Claim
#201703060010.
INTERACTION: Washington Counties Risk Pool hired an adjuster to review the r epair
estimate provided by Mr. Gilge. The adjuster negotiated the repair
estimate down to $3,145.06. However, Mr. Gilge later submitted a
revised repair estimate in the amount of $3,935.66, due to what Mr.
Gilge described as “additional damage” found during the repair
process that was not accounted for in the original repair estimate.
RECOMMENDATION: The Sheriff’s Office recommends approving Kittitas County Claim
#201703060010, in the amount of $3,935.66, conditioned on
receiving a signed release of all claims from Rodney and Sharon
Gilge.
