RE: Our Claim #: WM000702660658
Date of Loss: 09/07/2013
Claimant: Steve and Rebecca Kaiser
3993 Marquart Lane, Omro WI 54963
Dear Ms. Ubrig:
Statewide Services, Inc. administers the claims for the League of Wisconsin Municipalities
Mutual Insurance,which provides the insurance coverage for the City of Oshkosh. We have
completed our investigation of the above-referenced claim in which the Kaisers are alleging their
2001 Nissan Altima was damaged while parked in or near the City Hall parking lot on 9/7/13.
Our investigation has revealed that the City of Oshkosh was not liable for this incident as this
appears to be an act of vandalism and not an act of negligence on the part of the City.
Furthermore, there were no witnesses to the incident, and the claimants cannot recall the date,
time or place of occurrence. Therefore, we recommend that the City of Oshkosh disallow this
claim pursuant to the Wisconsin Statute for disallowance of claim 893.80(1g).The disallowance
of the claim in this manner will allow us to shorten the statute of limitations period to six months.
Please send the disallowance, on your letterhead, directly to the claimant at the above listed
address. This should be sent certified or registered (restricted) mail and must be received by the
claimant within 120 days after you received the claim. Please send me a copy of the Notice of
Disallowance for our file.
Sincerely,
Ginger Kim ton ( ``� ' �!
