January 19th, 2012 <br />Page 3 <br />that the area was outside of the planned flood -stage area, and that the blockage itself was the cause <br />for that area to become submerged. <br />We are not considering the claims for future loss of revenue or future advertisement as <br />these damages are speculative and have not been incurred. We also do not feel that any action or <br />lack of action taken by the city caused harm to the golf course that would cause future damages. <br />While the city is not responsible for water removal on private property cause by a storm <br />event, the delay in removing the blockage justifies the golf courses need to rent pumps and hire a <br />contractor to remove the blockage. It could also be argued that the city was not notified of this <br />condition until 2 days after this event, and that we do not owe for the entire 5 days that the golf <br />course was closed. In order to try and resolve your claim we have at this time considered the loss <br />of revenue for the full 5 days. <br />This table provides an itemized breakdown of our offer. <br />Drain King $ 1,600.00 <br />Pumps $ 1,395.00 <br />Green fees & Carts $ 5,528.35 <br />Total Offer $ 8,523.35 <br />Please note that the city is not necessarily liable for the flooding of the golf course during <br />this unusually severe storm. Any flooded land within the 100 year flood plan is expected to <br />become submerged during a severe precipitation event. <br />All claim settlements are global and we will not make partial payments on claims. In <br />consideration of the documentation provided, and my calculations outlined above, my offer to <br />settle this claim in full is $8,523.35. If you have any questions or want to discuss this further feel <br />free to contact me at my office phone number 651-215-4060. <br />Sincerely, <br />Chad Linden <br />Claims Adjuster <br />Cc: City of Ramsey <br />
