[Mpls] Nearly a Million ($900, 000.00) MInneapolis Park Board Settles - Who Pays?

[Annie Young]

Actually higher taxes is not the answer to this one.  The Park Board has
until Nov. 1, 2006 to settle this claim.  In the meantime, we will be trying
to sell the building or come up with the revenue from the building in one
way or another that would get us this $900,000.  By about next June we will
be looking at all our options which as a last resort includes paying out of
our self-insurance fund by the Nov. 1 deadline.
Annie Young
Citywide Park Commissioner

Settles - Who Pays?

Minneapolis Issues,

  Like all cases the government settles and the tax-payer pays the bill
through higher taxes. I have always been astounded at the number of
settlements our city has to pay out every year. The police department seems
to take on the brunt of these complaints-settlements but other city
departments have not been immune to this problem.

  How does our city compares to other cities in our state or of similar size
in the US? Are we average, or do we have significantly more
complaints/settlements then other cities or similar size?
