Case #7: Storm Damage City Administrator Schroeder noted the significant amount of property damage that happened throughout the City during a storm that occurred on July 1, 1997. The City has been working with property owners to remove downed trees. They are being chipped provided they are brought down to the curb. Some hauling has been done and we will be having a burn plus the scotch pine thinning program. Mr. Schroeder pointed out there is no budget allocation in which to take the expected $40,000 expenditure from, however, he recommended $18,000 from the Council Contingency, $5,000 from the EDA Fund and $17,000 from the Insurance Reserve. Motion by Councilmember Haas Steffen and seconded by Councilmember Beahen to adopt Resolution #97-08~195 approving the following funding sources for damage: $5,000 from the EDA Fund and $35,000 from the Insurance Reserve Fund. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Haas Steffen and Beahen. Voting No: Councilmembers Beyer and Zimmerman. (Both Councilmembers Zimmerman and Beyer felt the expense should be shared and that some of it should come out of the Council Contingency Fund.)
