SUBJECT:
Adopt Supplemental Appropriation Ordinance for the Risk Management Fund and Transfer Amounts
to Funds from Claims Within the Self-Insured Deductible and Subrogation Recovery
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Gouncil:

recovery; and
2. Authorize the transfer of $371,137.71 from the Risk Management Fund to various funds as listed on the

DISCUSSION:
Throughout the year, the Finance -Risk Management Division collects subrogation revenue from
individuals who have caused damage to City property, or are responsible for occupational injuries to City
employees from their insurance companies. Annually, the City Council is requested to appropriate these
revenues and to transfer them to the City operating fund that has sustained the loss.
In addition, these City operating funds are entitled to be reimbursed, for losses covered by the City's self-
funded insurance program administered by the Finance -Risk Management Division. Approval of the
recommendations of this Mayor and City Council Communication affects that reimbursement for losses
covered by the self-funded insurance program.
The Finance -Risk Management Division has collected un-appropriated subrogation revenue totaling
$303,673.40. No un-appropriated money was collected from commercial insurance policies owned by the
City. Pursuant to policy, these funds are being transferred from the Risk Management Fund, where they
were originally recorded, to the various funds sustaining the losses as revenue. Additionally, the various
operating funds are entitled to the transfer of $67,464.31 from the City's self-funded insurance program for
losses covered by that program. These transfers total $371,137.71. Affected funds include the General
Fund, Crime Control & Prevention District Fund, Water & Sewer Fund, Municipal Golf Fund, Municipal
Airports Fund, City Services Fund and the Engineering Fund.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that upon adoption of the attached supplemental appropriation ordinance,
funds will be available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, of the Risk Management Fund; the
transfer of funds from the Risk Management Fund will be recorded as revenue in the General, Crime
