Water budgets, and from litigation funds received from

h. Financial - Councilmember Curry reported that she
had reviewed July reports and that everything was as
expected. Current Fund expenditures are at 54%, very
good for this time of the year.
i. Property Insurance Coverage - Shelly Badger reported
that due to the claims received following the February
floods, our insurance carrier is requiring that
improvements such as roads , culverts, curbs, traffic
lights, bridges, overpasses, tunnels, etc. be
inventoried, and that an engineering survey be done to
determine replacement cost, and an additional premium
paid for coverage. Staff feels this coverage is not
necessary, as this type of damage is usually due to a
disaster covered by FEMA.
