During the winter storm in February 2021, multiple City properties were damaged. Damages are projected to be approximately$14,000,000.00.
Repair costs are covered by the City's commercial property insurance,subject to a$250,000.00 deductible.The purpose of this Mayor and
Council Communication (M&C)is to reallocate certain appropriations and increase receipts related to the insurance proceeds.
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 collected.
Based on estimation of repair cost,claim payments in the amount of$13,750,000.00 are anticipated by the City upon completion of damage
evaluation and estimates on repair costs.The$250,000.00 policy deductible will be transferred from the Risk Financing Fund to the General
Capital Projects Fund,for a total appropriation of$14,000,000 in the 2021 Winter Storm programmable project.
The City will make payment for repairs on the multiple City properties upon completion of repairs based on actual cost.
