Will do. Thanks.

Sam,
Your payment of $27.00 has been received and a copy of your receipt has been attached to this email. Also- we received a duplicate check for $27.00 (check #0000010169) that we will shred unless otherwise specified. You will also find the items responsive to your request attached to this email. The department does not have any documents showing the requested information in the particular format; and other than the End of Year Reports, the department does not compile information in a document as requested.
With regard to Request #8, please note that the types of lawsuits described are handled by insurance companies under various policies procured by the City. The City does not keep a compilation listing such lawsuits or settlements and does not have a total amount paid out by the insurance companies. Therefore, there are no documents in existence that are responsive to your request. Please note that Section 610.100 (1) RSMo provides in part, “any…settlement agreement relating to legal actions, causes of action or litigation…shall be made public upon final disposition of the matter voted upon or upon the signing by the parties of the settlement agreement. Unless…ordered closed by a court…” If you would like a copy of a particular settlement agreement in a particular case, please let me know the style of the case and I will research whether or not a settlement was reached in that particular case.
Respectfully,
Jamie McCarrick
Records Supervisor
