MEMORANDUM
TO: Members of the City Council
FROM: Frank E. Villaume, III }�(,�
DATE: June 10, 1987
RE: Mary M. Courtney v. City of St. Paul
and John Patrick Finnegan
Our File No. S83-0206
This claim arises out of an automobile accident that took place
on December 1, 1982 on Pierce Butler Route near Holton. Mary
M. Courtney was driving west on Pierce Butler towards her home.
St. Paul Police Officer John Finnegan was responding to an alarm
call and was also westbound on Pierce Butler with his red lights
flashing, but without his siren on.
Ms. Courtney was intending to exit at Snelling when she was struck
from behind by the squad car. Officer Finnegan reported that Ms .
Courtney appeared to be turning at Holton and made a motion to
the left and so he started to the right. However, Ms. Courtney
continued straight ahead and Officer Finnegan collided with the
slower moving car.
Ms . Courtney ' s 1976 Chevrolet Chevelle was considered a total
loss and was appraised as having a pre-accident value of $1, 700 .
The plaintiff has agreed to accept $1, 000 in full settlement of
her claim and our office requests approval of this settlement
proposal.
