Body
Staff Recommends: Approval of the attached Resolution
Explanation:
On November 20, 2014, the City was informed that sewage had overflowed out of the drains and onto the floors of a home located at 700 North 68th Avenue, which is owned by Tulio Fernando Bula and Monica Useche (the “Claimants”). The overflow caused damage to the home and its contents.
The City originally estimated that the cost to restore/repair the Home, the replacement cost of the Home’s damaged contents and the cost of the Claimants’ living expenses during the time that their Home was being repaired would not exceed $100,000.00. The City Commission, via Resolution Number R-2014-370, approved and authorized the expenditure of an amount not to exceed $100,000.00 from the City’s self-insurance fund to pay the costs associated with the liability claim made by the Claimants.
The Claimants are requesting an additional $12,518.87 above the original $100,000.00 previously approved to cover the replacement cost of the Home’s damaged contents and settle the liability claim.
