TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Attorney to submit Stipulations with Request for Award for approval by the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board, and if so approved, authority to pay (1) $203,728.98 for Stipulations with Request for Award, and also (2) to pay $185.54 per week thereafter for a Life Pension, which is subject to cost of living adjustments to be determined by the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board, in compliance with the Appeals Board Order for Mark Boone.
DISCUSSION
Mark Boone has made a claim for injuries allegedly sustained in the course of his employment with the City of Long Beach.  The Economic Development and Finance Committee, on July 3, 2012, approved the submission to the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board of Stipulations with Request for Award by the City and Mark Boone based upon (1) an 84 percent disability rating, and (2) a further provision for a Life Pension at the rate of $185.54, which is subject to cost of living adjustments to be determined by the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board, after the permanent disability has been fully paid.  Finally, there is a provision for lifetime medical care as may be necessary.
SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve recommendation.
