In the case, Nancy Phelan died follow- ing an accident in Thompson Lake State Park. Phelan lost her balance and fell from her bicycle after riding over a depression in the road. At the time of the accident, Phelan was not wearing a helmet; she struck her head on the road and was dead within five minutes. In a wrongful death claim, Phelan's former spouse, claimant Kevin Phelan, alleged that "the death occurred as a result of defendant's negligence in the design, construction, maintenance and repair of the road where the accident happened." Facts of the Case At trial, decedent's I I -year-old son, William, recounted that his family was on a week long camping trip at Thomp- son Lake State Park when his mother died on Aug. 2, 2001. During the mid- afternoon, William and his mother rode ,ikes to the Nature Center within the park. Although they had worn their helmets on other occasions during this camping trip, neither was wearing a helmet at this time. William testified that his mother rode her bicycle over the center of a "pot hole" in the road, and then he saw her handlebars suddenly turn to the right. After the turn, the bicycle remained on the roadway for a while but eventually one tire went off the road, and his mother fell. Another eyewitness to the accident, Joanne Sheldon, testified she was seated at a picnic table and observed decedent riding her bicycle along the roadway for approximately 20 to 30 feet before she eventually fell. Sheldon approximated that decedent was riding at a speed of 5 to 10 mph down an incline with a cur- vature in the roadway, and that she rode over a depression in the road. Her han- dlebars jerked and turned. She lost her balance and fell over to her left side and struck the left side of her skull on the road. Earlier that day, Sheldon had observed children on scooters fall at the same location. Sheldon could not remember where decedent fell, but she did remember the location of the "groove" on the pavement that caused decedent's fall. Sheldon immediately went over to decedent, who was bleeding profusely and gurgling on her own blood. Dece- dent tried to lift her head and her back leg was moving slightly. Sheldon told her not to move because help was on the way. Within five minutes, decedent developed a gaze and then a blank stare on her face. At that point, she stopped -moving. Sheldon checked for a pulse, but could not locate one. Lifeguards from the park beach arrived six to seven 36 P A R K S & R E C R E A T 1 0 N 5 E P T E M B E R 2 0 0 6 Lawn Review minutes later. Eventually, an ambulance removed decedent from the park and brought her to a hospital where she was pronounced dead upon arrival. On the morning following the acci- dent, Phelan returned to the site and found that crushed stone had been placed in the depression. After the acci- dent, Phelan had several discussions with State Police Senior Investigator James Dolan, who opined that the hole in the road was the cause of the acci- dent. Dolan inspected decedent's bicy- cle and found nothing wrong with it. Neither the state police report nor the park police report, however, made a determination as to the cause of the accident. The duty to exercise reasonable care requires that the State, as the owner and operator of a recreational area, protect the public from foresee- able risks of harm Thatcher State Park Manager Chris- topher. Fallon testified that his responsi- bilities included the oversight of Thompson Lake State Park. Although maintenance was conducted on an as - needed basis, there was no scheduled maintenance for this depression. Fallon also admitted that he had observed the culvert several times before the acci- dent, possibly even the morning of the accident. Fallon further testified that there was no rule at the park that bicy- clists over the age of 14 wear a helmet. Alan Gonseth, a civil engineer and bicycle accident reconstructionist, inspected the accident scene the morn- ing after it occurred. Gonseth observed the road as having three depressions with the largest located along the right edge of the pavement. He also observed that there had been major repair work to the depression on the right side where a triangular piece of road had been cut out and patched. He opined that the packing around the culvert was not done properly, so that when it set- tled, it left a void underneath the road. Weight on the road eventually caused the roadway to sink. Gonseth measured the depth of the depression as 3.5 to 4 inches in the cen- ter, on top of the fill that had been placed in it after the accident. In his opinion, it would be difficult to see the patched area on any approach from the north or south. He further opined that a cyclist going down this hill at a rea- sonable speed who encountered a depression like this one, could easily lose his or her balance and fall. Negligent Repair Claimant alleged that "defendant's neg- ligent repair of the roadway caused the depression that led to decedent's acci- dent and death." In response, the state contended that "the depression did not cause decedent's fall and even if it did, decedent assumed the risk of injury." Under the circumstances of this par- ticular case, the court noted that the State, as a landowner, had a legal "duty to use reasonable care under the cir- cumstances in maintaining its property in a safe condition:" The duty to exercise reasonable care requires that the State, as the owner and operator of a recreational area, protect the public from foreseeable risks of harm. Like any other landowner, however, the State is not an insurer of the safety of those using the property for recreational purposes, and the mere happening of an accident does not render the State liable...

Even where the condition is open and obvious, a landowner's duty to main- tain property in a reasonably safe condi- tion is not obviated; it merely negates the requirement to warn of such a condition. In either case, however, a claimant must still demonstrate that the risk of harm was foreseeable because the State had actual or constructive notice of the condi- tion and failed to act reasonably to rem- edy it. Where the landowner creates the dangerous condition that causes the acci- dent, the landowner is deemed to have actual notice of such condition. In this particular instance, the state claims court took note that "a major repair had been undertaken at the depression located on the right side of the park roadway." In so doing, the court found Gonseth's expert testimony "persuasive" that "the repair was negli- gently undertaken in that it was not properly packed, thereby causing a sinking of the road, creating a depres- sion." Further, the court noted "the tes- timony of William and Sheldon that decedent's bike tire hit this depression and caused her to lose her balance and fall." _ While noting the triangular depres- sion as evidence that the roadway "had been repaired," the court found the State had produced "no proof regarding how many times it was repaired, by whom or with what materials." In so doing, the court found the State had failed "to rebut the testimony of claimant's engineer that the path was not constructed in accordance with good practice." Moreover, the court found the State had "knowledge of the depression" based upon the testimony of park man- ager Fallon. In his deposition, Fallon had testified that "he was aware of the depression before the accident, [but] he 40 PAP, ICS&RE CREATIO N SEPTEM13 E R 2006 did not request that repairs or modifi- cations be made." Based upon such tes- timony, the court found the State had "actual notice of this condition" be- cause the State had "created it" and "failed to remedy it." Further the court found that the tes- timony of Sheldon and Gonseth indi- cated the depression was a "latent haz- ard," i.e., "it was on an incline with a curve, thereby making the depression difficult to see." As a result, the court found sufficient evidence to support a claim for negligence liability. Assumption of Risk The State argued that assumption of risk was "a complete bar to recovery" because the decedent was "participating in a sport:' As described by the court, under certain circumstances, assump- tion of risk may preclude liability "when a claimant's injury results from the voluntary participation in a recre- ational activity:" It is well settled that a voluntary partici- pant in a sport or recreational activity consents to those commonly appreciated risks which are inherent in and arise out of the nature of the sport generally and flow from such participation. A partici- pant will not be deemed to assume the risk, however, if the risks were unique and resulted in a dangerous condition over and above the usual dangers inherent in the activity... The most important factor is whether the risk is inherent in the activity. Applying these factors to the testi- mony presented, the court found "the depression was not open and obvious. As a result, the court concluded that the decedent, "a recreational bicyclist, who had not traveled on the roadway previously, did not assume the risk of encountering this type of unwarned hazard." Here, defendant presents no evidence that decedent saw the depression. Moreover, after reviewing all the photographs of the accident scene, the court determines that the depression caused by the negligent repair was not discernable due to the decline and curve in the road. In making this determination, the court noted that this case involved "a depression caused by a sinking repair" which was "not an ordinary rut or bump in the roadway," nor was it "ordi- narily caused by travel upon the road." In so doing, the court distinguished this depression from an inherent risk assumed by the cyclist, specifically "the risk of encountering ruts and bumps while riding a bike over a rough road- way without a helmet [which] should be obvious to the experienced cyclist." Accordingly, the court rejected "defendant's argument that decedent consented to this risk inasmuch as the risk was hard to see and was unknown to decedent since she had not previ- ously bicycled on that road.' The court, therefore, held that "claimant's recovery is not barred by assumption of risk." Damages In assessing damages, the court refused to "mitigate any damage award for decedent's failure to wear a helmet at the time of the accident." Specifically, the court found that"[d]ecedent was not required to wear a helmet (see Vehi- cle and Traffic Law § 1238 [5] [b] ), and, furthermore, no persuasive testimony, medical or otherwise, was proffered to establish that her injuries would have been either avoided or reduced had she worn a helmet." Accordingly, the state claims court found decedent's son and daughter, William and Allison Phelan, were "enti- tled to a collective award for damages for the wrongful death of their mother in the amount of $2,437,112," which included $2,200,000 "for the loss of parental nurturing.'

INSTITUTE FOR ' FOUNDED,955%CAL GOVERNMENT A public agency's decision should be based solely on what best serves the public's interests. a' The law is aimed at the perception, as well as the reality, that a public official's personal interests may influence a decision. Even the temptation to act in one's own interest could lead to disqualification, or worse. ' Having a conflict of interest does not imply that you have done anything wrong; it just means you have financial or other disqualifying interests. " Violating the conflict of interest laws could lead to monetary fines and criminal penalties for public officials. Don't take that risk. BASIC KALE A public official may not participate in a decision — including trying to influence a decision — if the official has financial or, in some cases, other strong personal interests in that decision. When an official has an interest in a contract, the official's agency may be prevented from even making the contract. WHEN 70 SEEK ADVICE FROM AGEi4Cvb COUNSEL The rules are very complex.

If a Commissioner is absent for either 113 of the calendar year or misses 3 meetings in a row, they are to be removed from the Commission. Please let me know if you think any commissioner is nearing these limits, please let me know. While there is no official "Excused Absence", we will use this title for Susie Lahey or any commissioner that is legally required to excuse themselves from the meeting to avoid a conflict of interest or other similar situation.
