You will note I have not. As you are aware, the Tort 'Claims Act has <br /> a limitation of liability for $200,000 for injury and death and $50,000 for property damage. I <br /> have read with interest and listened with a close ear relative to charges against the City and the <br /> Urban Forester. Your committee is an ad hoc committee, has not been appointed by the City <br /> Council or any official organ of the City, and it is my view that you act without authority. <br /> Because of the above - referenced liability, and your lack of official status, I wish to place you <br /> on notice and anyone else on your committee that you care to inform that in the event any injury <br /> is suffered by my family or my home that is not covered by the City's liability I will look to <br /> each of you individually for interfering in the risk analysis related to these trees. <br /> I would be obliged if you would put your homeowner's liability company on notice and <br /> also your comprehensive general liability carrier. Thank you. <br /> ery truly urs, <br /> 0 4110 <br /> Re. . <br /> RHF /kre <br />
