OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY

To: The 1Kembers of the City Council .1EROME J. SEGAL
FROM: Daniel L. Ficker �°���.
SUBJECT: Claim of Roxanne Manke
The claim of Roxanne Manke arose out of an incident
when she was swinging on a swing at Cherokee
Park and one of the chains supporting the swing
seat broke as she was at the height of her
backswing. She fell to the ground suffering
fractures of three fingers and also spraining
both ankles. One of the fingers is permanently
deformed which she claims causes her embarrassment,
and she complains that the fingers that were broken
are weak. Also, she was unable to walk without
assistance for about four days after the accident
and she was unable to function normally for a
period of about three weeks due to the splints
on her fingers. As a result of the accident, Miss
Manke incurred medical bills in the amount of
$173 . 30, and she was unable to take a job that
she was training for. My investigation showed
there was no negligence on the part of Miss Manke,
but possible negligence on the part of the City.
I would recommend that you approve the settlement
of $800. 00 which, after payment of all costs incurred,
leaves her with about $200 . 00 for pain and suffering
and loss of earnings.
