The St. Paul City Council on Wednesday approved a $95,000 payment to a woman who sued the city claiming police didn't provide a certified sign-language interpreter for her when she tried to file a report.

Catrina Hooper tried to file a domestic violence report with the St. Paul Police Department in 2014. Hooper, who is deaf, said when she went to meet with police and file a report, they failed to provide the necessary auxiliary aids to effectively communicate with her, and didn't allow her to file the report using a certified interpreter.
