How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• determining that the city’s financially driven decision to delay improvements to a stormwater holding pond’s drainage system was a policy-making decision entitled to statutory immunity
• holding city’s decision not to remedy stormwater-holding pond by making costly repairs was “clearly of a policy-making nature” and immune from tort liability as a discretionary function
• city’s decision concerning major capital improvements to its existing drainage system involved policy-making which required a balancing of social, political, and economic considerations and was, therefore, immune as a discretionary function
