WARD <br />STRATEGIC CLAIMS SOLUTIONS <br />June 19, 2000 <br />The Godmother's Italian Restaurant <br />c/o Edgardo Troncosco <br />1089 South Mt. Vernon Avenue <br />Colton, CA 92324 <br />RE: Our Client: <br />Claimant: <br />Date of Loss: <br />Location: <br />Dear Mr. Troncosco: <br />City of Colton <br />Edgardo Troncosco <br />May 24, 2000 <br />1089 S. Mt, Vernon Ave. <br />Our investigation into the circumstances surrounding the claim you recently presented to the Cite <br />Of Colton has been completed. <br />The City has advised that on May 24, 2000 there was a power outage that affected your area. <br />This outage was caused by a pole that caught fire and broke in two. The City could find no <br />reason why the pole caught fire. <br />During our recent telephone conversation, I discussed with you the City's Resolution *3734, #l3, <br />entitled "Interruptions or Defects in Service," Section B entitled "Uncontrollable Forces." which <br />states: "The City shall not be liable on account of interruptions to service or by reason of any <br />claim or loss for damage resulting therefrom caused by uncontrollable forces, the term <br />`uncontrollable forces,' being deemed for the purposes of these customer service policies to <br />mean flood, earthquake, storm, lightning, fire, epidemic, failure of facilities, war, riot, civil <br />disturbances, labor disturbances, restraint by court or public authority, or any like cauge beyond <br />the control of the City. The City shall exercise due diligence in restoring service in the event <br />interruptions occur." <br />Based on the City's resolution, by copy of this correspondence to the City, it is our <br />recommendation that this claim be rejected in its entirety. <br />If you have any questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact the undersigned. <br />Sincerely, <br />WARD NORTH AMERICA, INC. ✓' <br />� <br />os - <br />4Ie C; <br />JRK:daz <br />WARD NORTH AMERICA, INC. <br />17862 E. 17TH STREET, SUITE 111, TUSTIN, CA 92780-2157 • TELEPHONE (714) 544-0--1 • FAX (714) 544-1979 <br />
