Risk Management is an effort to minimize and manage the City's liability claims. The City is self-insured and belongs to a governmental insurance pool, the Pooled Liability Assurance Network Joint Powers Authority (PLAN JPA).  All claims are processed through a third-party insurance administrator, Sedgwick.

If you believe that you have a legitimate claim against the City then you need to complete a claim form. Claim forms are available by calling the City Clerk’s office at 510-578-4278 to request a claim form be mailed or by downloading the claim form (PDF).

Please follow the instructions on the claim form and attach any documentation that you feel may support your claim. Make sure the form is signed. Incomplete forms may delay the processing of your claim or may result in the denial of your claim.  

Claims may be submitted by U.S. mail to:

City Clerk
City of Newark
37101 Newark Boulevard, 2nd Floor
Newark, CA 94560

or via email to city.clerk@newark.org

City Hall is open from 8 AM to 2PM, Monday through Thursday and alternating Fridays. Please consult the calendar on the website for closures.

You will be informed of the City’s decision by mail, usually within forty-five (45) days from the filing date of the claim.
