?'.t,t The City Commission of the City of Clearwater met at the City Hall,

The Mayor called the meeting to order and the following items were
discussed:
Allen v. City of Clearwater
This ease involves a wrongful death in which a motoreyolist ran a
stop sign and injuries sustained resulted in his death. The plaintiffs
in the oase are the estate of the motorcycle driver, his widcw and Five
very young minor children.
There is a possibilty of significant civil exposure in the oase based
on evidenoe that the eastbound stop sign on Pinellas Street did not meet
the minimum sight distance requirement specified in both the Florida Dept.
of Transportation Handbook and Homburger?s Transportation and Traffio
Engineering Handbook. The Florida guidelines specify 250 feet urrestrieted
sight distance, and the Homburger recommends 200 feet.
The sign in question begins to become obscured by a large oak tree
at 118 feet and is virtually obscured at 250 feet. Because of this faot,
although the motoroyelist was legally drunk and the driver of the vehicle
whioh hit him was at fault because he accidentally hit the gas pedal
instead of the brake pedal, the City Attorney*s office feels the oase
should be settled.
Commissioner Garvey moved to approve a settlement in the amount of
$15,000. The nation was duly seconded and carried unanimously.

Hershey v. City of Clearwater and Swain
The plaintiff is suing the City and Polioe Officer Swain for false
arrest in oonneotion with an inoident in whioh he was sited for sleeping
•=a;??`:? in public and was arrested when he refused to sign the tioket. The State
Attorney's offioe dismissed the oase.
There is a potential eonfliot of interest since, in this oase, an
officer is being cited along with the City. Therefore, the City Attorney's
office is requesting authorization to hire an outisde attorney for the
police officer should either the City or the officer not be dropped from
the suit.
The City Manager and attorneys emphasized they do not feel the officer
anted improperly in this oase; however, due to City ordinances, there
is an appearance of an impropriety with a City attorney defending the
officer.
Commissioner Winner moved to authorize the City Attorney to hire
outside counsel in the ease of Hershey v. City of Clearwater and Swain.
The ?tioa was duly seconded and carried unanimously.
The meeting adjourned at 9:30 a.m.
