Governmental immunity
Harriet and Donald Otto appeal a judgment dismissing their negligence claim against Eau Claire County on the basis of governmental immunity. Harriet Otto asserts the County had a ministerial duty to place some type of barricade to prevent her from falling several inches off a platform in an exhibit hall at the Eau Claire County Expo Center. She also contends the step down from the platform to the hall’s concrete floor represented a known and compelling danger that the County failed to mitigate. We conclude the circuit court properly granted the County’s motion for summary judgment on immunity grounds, and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
2011AP2430 Otto v. Eau Claire County
Dist. III, Eau Claire County, Gabler, J., Per Curiam.
