McCarrons Roseville, MN 55113 RE: LMCIT FILE NO.: TRUST MEMBER: CLAIMANT: D/OCCURRENCE: 11059831 CITY OF ROSEVILLE BOBBIE CARPENTER 1115/07 I Dear Ms. Carpenter: The League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust provides coverage to our trust member, the City of Roseville. I have finished my investigation into your claim for your frozen sewer service line. I fail to find evidence the City of Roseville is responsible for your damages, therefore, I must respectfully deny liability. During a street reconstruction project in 1997 the street was widened and a walking path was added. In addition there were several retaining walls which were part of this project. The street was not lowered. We do not believe the project had anything to do with your frozen sewer service line. Your sewer service ties in to a large main owned by the Metropolitan Council. During the project-the city noticed yo~,:r pri~~ate service ~uas wallow so ±hey insulated over your service in an attempt to provide protection for you from this type of occurrence. During the 2006/2007 winter there was very little snow cover to act as a protection and additional insulation of your. private line. That coupled with the fact of colder temperatures your private sewer service froze. We regret that we cannot provide you with a more favorable resolution of your claim. If you have any questions feel free to contact me 651-215-4067. Sincerely, -~.,-~ ~ ~~~ ~~~ Danielle Monteith Claims Adjuster c: Mark Johnson, LMCIT Brenda Davitt, City of Roseville AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITYJAFFiRMAT1YE t
