Processing the Notice of Claim

When the Clerk receives the notice of claim, it is forwarded to the Municipality’s Insurer, and the City Attorney. The City Attorney presents each notice of claim to the city’s Liability Claims Committee for review and determination.

The Liability Claims Committee meets in the Government Center (1316 North 14^th Street, Room 300). The Claimant will be sent a notice of the meeting date and time, that the claim will be reviewed and considered. Your appearance at the meeting is not mandatory, but if you wish to address the committee in person, or present evidence for the committee’s consideration, you may do so at that time. The claimant will be notified in writing of the committee’s recommendation via the method indicated on the Notice of Claim form.

If you have questions regarding filing a claim or the claim process, please contact the City Clerk’s office at (715) 395-7200.
