,PECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
II. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Authorize the Auditor-Controller to pay the claim of employee Matthew Guichard to.
compensate him for personal property damaged on the job on May 16, 1989.
II . FINANCIAL IMPACT:
County funds would pay the amount of reimbursement due as determined according to
Administrative Bulletin Number 313.2.
II. REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
On May 16, 1989, Deputy District Attorney Matthew Guichard's suit was ruined in a job
related incident that was beyond his control. On that day, Mr. Guichard was en
route, with Lieutenant of Inspectors Allen Sjostrand, to interview a witness in a
murder case. In West Pittsburg, they saw three men beating up another man in the
street. While Lieutenant Sjostrand was pursuing the fleeing assailant, Mr. Guichard
remained to question witnesses about the matter. During this short time, an unknown
subject punched Mr. Guichard in the face, causing edema, blurred vision, and
extensive facial contusions. Mr. Guichard bled profusely from the nose and was
rushed to a local hospital for emergency care. His suit, shirt, and tie were ruined
from the blood.
Mr. Guichard later took his suit to a commercial dry cleaners. Despite the cleaners'
efforts to remove the blood, the suit is still in unwearable condition. .
The recommended action is requested pursuant to Contra Costa County Administrative
Bulletin No. 313.2.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to approve the recommendation would result in financial loss to a responsible
employee incurring unpredictable damage to his personal property in the course of
work activity..
