County to settle out of court; ex-employee will get $50,000
Douglas County Commissioners voted 2-1 yesterday to pay a former county employee $50,000 as payment in an out of court lawsuit settlement.
By Buck Taylor Kansan staff writer
The suit, filed in June, stemmed from allegations that Jerry Kemberling, then county weed department director, was wrongfully fired after attempting to collect workman's compensation.
Kemberling asked in the suit for $380,000 in back wages and workmen's compensation. Attorneys for Kemberling and the county arranged the settlement before the county agreed to move before the case was to go to trial at 9 a.m. yesterday.
"We made a compromise with the county for wrongful discharge, and I have been compensated," Kemberling said.
Kemberling, an eight-year public works employee, was injured August 14, 1897, in a hit-and-run accident while working on a county road, according to Douglas County District Court records.
After the accident, Kemberling was advised by physicians, who were chosen by the county, not to return to work from August to December 1987, according to court records. He also was advised to work part-time from January to May 1988.
The suit said that he was paid temporary workmen's compensation for his disabilities and that he had to supplement the limited income with accumulated vacation and sick leave nav.
On June 8, 1988, Kemberling requested a hearing for his workmen's compensation claim to determine the amount of his disability reimbursement. A hearing was scheduled for August.
However, county attorney Robert Fairchild said Memberling was asked to resign because of questions about his managerial capabilities, numerous absences and low department morale.
The suit said that on June 11, Kemberling's supervisor, public works director Frank Hempen, told him that his employment would be terminated because he was too expensive to keep around.
"Basically, we viewed our settlement as the lesser of two evils."
Street expansion meets opposition Concerned public raises objections with city commissioners
By Kathryn Lancaster
Kansan staff writer
Public opposition to city plans to expand Sixth Street to five lanes caused commissioners yesterday to take a second look at the proposal.
About 25 people met with Lawrence city commissioners at a city study session to voice their objections to the project.
After hearing more than two hours of comments, Mayor Bob Schumm said commissioners would make no objections.
The $170,000 project would involve resurfacing and restriping traffic lanes on Sixth Street from Massa-
chusets to Maine streets, said Terese Gardner, city engineer.
Although Sixth Street would not be widened, about 96 parking spots along the street would be eliminated, Gardner said.
Representatives from the Old Lawrence Neighborhood Association, the Pinckney Parent-Teacher Organization and the Pinckney Neighborhood Association said that the Department of Public Safety and that it did not address pedestrian traffic issues.
Marilyn Cabay, president of the Pinckney PTO, said five lanes of traffic would add to traffic problems at Pinckney Elementary School.
