RE: Claim #64-589617 Insured: M.A. Vinson Construction Company, Inc.
Claimant: Donald C. Jones Date of loss: 5/8/95
Coppell Reference #DR 93-06 Stream G6
Dear Ms. Fuller:
This letter is written as a follow-up to our telephone conversation in which I requested copies
of the settlement between CNA Insurance and Donald C. Jones and any releases associated with
that settlement and what the settlement actually covered. As I stated during our telephone
conversation, the City currently has an active project with M.A. Vinson to construct certain
drainage improvements adjacent to this property. We are still holding monies associated with
that project until the issues concerning Mr. Jones' property have been resolved. If in fact the
insurance company has settled with Mr. Jones to the extent that the settlement has resolved the
issues associated with the property, then the City will be in a better position to try to f'mal out
the project between the City and Mr. Vinson. However, the City cannot move forward until
such tLme as we have the aforementioned information. Therefore, I respectfully request that
CNA provide to the City of Coppell copies of the settlement agreement between CNA Insurance
and Donald C. Jones, any releases associated with that settlement and what the settlement
actually covered.
During the course of our conversation, you also stated that Mr. Jones initially presented a
detailed claim in the amount of $200,000.00 to CNA. I would also request that be provided to
the City along with the above information.
If you should have any questions or if there are any problem with providing that information to
me please contact me at (214)304-3679 so that I can provide you with the name and address of
our City Attorney so the information can be released to him. Thanl~ you for your consideration
of this matter.
Sincerely,
Kenneth M. Griffin, P.E.
Assistant City Manager/City Engineer
