Florentina Garcia, accompanied by her son, José Cruz, appeared before the Board to present a claim seeking reimbursement for damage to her vehicle’s windshield, allegedly caused by County mowing operations on Canal Road. After full discussion, the Board adopted an ORDER denying the claim due to insufficient evidence to establish negligence on the part of the County and the claimant’s delay in reporting the incident, which originally occurred on April 24, 2024, but was not reported until August 26, 2024, with the formal claim filed on May 1, 2025, allowing the damage to worsen over time.
