TO: CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CONTRA COSTA COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, AND CONTRA COSTA COUNTY SHERIFF'S WORK ALTERNATIVE PROGRAM Attention: Board of Supervisors The following claim is submitted pursuant to Government Code section 910. 1. Claimant's name and address: Steven Ross aka Roderick Morris c/o Law Office of Jay Chafetz 1375 Creekside Drive Walnut Creek, CA 94596 2 . Send Notices To: Law .Office of Jay Chafetz 1375 Creekside Drive Walnut Creek, CA 94596 3 . The Occurrence: a. Date: 12/15/91 b. Place: In or about an abandoned industrial building in the vicinity of Hall and Harbour Way in Richmond, California, the probable address being 1422 Harbour Boulevard, Richmond, California. C. Circumstances: Claimant Steven Ross was assigned to work at the Port of Richmond harbor or marina on December 1, 7, 8, and 15, 1991 pursuant to the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Work Alternative Program. On one or more occasions before December 15, 1991, agents or employees of the Port of Richmond or its harbor or marina made derogatory or threatening comments to claimant, including comments indicating prejudice against him because of his race. When claimant reported to work on December 15, 1991, Marina assistant Bill Henry told claimant to go with assistant harbormaster Tracy Cullen. In violation of claimant's constitutional and civil rights and the work alternative program contract and regulations, Cullen maliciously, despicably, and with deliberate intent to inflict injury drove claimant away from the work alternative program site to an abandoned industrial building which was clearly marked, and which Cullen knew, was uninhabitable, hazardous to human life, and filled with asbestos. Cullen deliberately and maliciously locked claimant in the industrial building for several hours. As a consequence of Cullen's conduct, claimant received a prolonged and significant exposure to asbestos and suffered emotional distress. Asbestos fibers entered his lungs, where they will serve as a possible future source of asbestosis, lung cancer, or other diseases related to exposure to asbestos. Claimant believes Contra Costa and its agents and employees were negligent in their setting up and monitoring of the Work Alternative Program, negligent in their selection and monitoring of the Port, Marina, or Harbor of Richmond and its agents and employees, and hired an incompetent entity or persons to have charge over claimant in the Work Alternative Program. The acts done to claimant constitute assault and battery and/or a willful and unprovoked physical act of aggression of Cullen, Henry, and Woods and/or a willful physical assault of the City of Richmond, City of Richmond Harbor, City of Richmond Marina, Port of Richmond, Contra Costa County, Contra Costa County Sheriff's Department, and Contra Costa County Sheriff's Work Alternative Program. Claimant intends to assert all possible causes of action and theories arising out of the above circumstances, including but not limited to violation of constitutional and civil rights, various rights under the penal code including but not limited to being free from cruel and unusual punishment, negligence, intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress, dangerous condition of public property, assault and battery, prior authorization of the acts alleged, ratification of the acts alleged, negligent supervision, training, and hiring of agents and employees, and negligent and unconstitutional customs and practices. 4. General Description of indebtedness, obligation, injury, damage or loss: Exposure to asbestos. Probable future lung cancer, other asbestos-related injury, and death; related medical expenses and wage losses; loss of earning capacity; shortened life expectancy; anxiety; emotional distress and pain and suffering; violation of constitutional and civil rights. 5. Names of government employees) causing the loss: Assistant Harbormaster Tracy Cullen and Marina Assistant Bill Henry. Possibly Harbormaster Sharon Woods. Unknown employees of Contra Costa County who were in charge of setting up and monitoring the Work Alternative Program. 6. Amount Claimed: The amount claimed would fall within the jurisdiction of the superior court.
