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 are in receipt of the
"Claim"documentation submitted by Ms.Reimer in which she is asserting a claim for$15 million for
mental distress,harassment and other allegations claimed in her Statement of Incident.
I have reviewed this claim and the documentation provided to me. Based on the information available to
me,there is no evidence to support Ms.Reimer's claim.Therefore,in the absence of evidence to support
any of Ms. Reimer's claims or allegations,her claim is without merit,and we recommend that the City of
Oshkosh disallow this claim pursuant to the Wisconsin Statute for disallowance of claim 893.80(lg). 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.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Ginger Kimpton
