SUBJECT:
Authorize Payment for Repairs in the Amount Up to $13,000,000.00 for Hail Damage to Multiple City
Properties, Occurring March 17, 2016 and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance for Commercial Insurance
Recovery in the Amount of$13,000,000.00 (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:

Financing Fund in the amount of$13,000,000.00; and
2. Authorize the payment for repairs to multiple City properties in the amount up to $13,000,000.00.
DISCUSSION:
During a hail storm on March 17, 2016, multiple City properties were damaged. Damages are determined
to total in excess of$13,000,000.00. Repair costs are covered by the City's commercial property
insurance, subject to a $250,000.00 deductible.
Each year, funds are budgeted in the Risk Financing Fund to pay for incurred expenditures that fall within
the policy deductible for property damage claims covered by the City's commercial insurance. When a
claim exceeds the policy deductible, commercial insurance recoveries are deposited to the Risk Financing
Fund for appropriation. A partial claim payment of$2,500,000.00 was received from RSUI Indemnity
Company on April 26, 2016.
An additional claim payment in the amount of$10,500,000.00 is expected by the City upon completion of
damage evaluation and estimates on repair costs. The estimation of repair costs was completed on May
31, 2016. The City will make payment for repairs on multiple City properties upon completion of repairs
based on actual cost.
This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION /CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be
available in the current operating budget, subject to receipt, in the Risk Financing Fund.
