MEMORANDUM
T0 : Members of the City Council
of the City of Saint Paul
FROM: Daniel L. Ficker �'�"��
Assistant City Attorney
SUBJECT: Claim of Viola M. Wicke
The claim of Viola M. Wicke arose�ut of a falldown at
Como Zoo on August 9, 1972, when she stepped on a piece
of broken sidewalk and broke a bone in her right foot.
As a result of the aecident, she was disabled until the
latter part of October, 19�2, and she lost approximately
�j00.00 in wages and expended �185.00 for medical treat-
ment. My investigation reveals that the sidewalk where
the fall occurred was in a defective condition�at the
time of the fall, and the city had notice of the defects .
It is my opinion that Mrs. Wicke would prevail if the
matter was brought to trial, and a reasonable jury verdic�
would be in the range of �2, 500.00 to �3,000.00. There-
fore , I believe a settlement of her claim for �1, 100. 00
is reasonable and I would recommend your approval.
