Presenter: Mike Rogers, Deputy Chief of Business Services Staff Contacts: Mike Rogers, Deputy Chief of Business Services Title: Appropriating Insurance Reimbursement in the amount of $4,650.55 - Fire Department Truck Company 9 (2nd reading) Background City asset, vehicle # 3312 – a 2017 Pierce tractor-drawn ladder truck (Truck 9), was involved in an auto incident in which the vehicle came into contact with another vehicle while responding to a call for service. Vehicle # 3312 was inspected by industry professionals and a repair estimate was sent to the department. The Virginia Risk Sharing Association (VRSA) also had an estimator (Blue Ridge Apparaisal Services) look at the damage and provide an estimate. The total estimate to repair the damage to Truck Company 9 totaled in excess of the $10,000 deductible. The Cty has received the amount of $4,650.55 from VRSA for the repairs to Truck Company 9. Discussion A check for the damage repair from the Virginia Risk Sharing Association has been received based on the repair estimate that was done. The insurance monies will be utilized to repair the damage to Truck Company 9 rear trailer body. Alignment with City Council's Vision and Strategic Plan The reimbursement of the insurance monies for the vehicle damage done to vehicle #3312 supports the City’s mission - “We provide services that promote equity and an excellent quality of life in our community”. The anticipated use of the reimbursed monies also aligns with Goal 5 - A Well-managed and Responsive Organization. Community Engagement N/A Budgetary Impact While the City has received reimbursement funds for a portion of the damage, the balance of the repair costs will be paid from the Fire Department's operating repairs and maintenance budget. Recommendation Staff recommends approval and appropriation of insurance monies. Alternatives If the insurance reimbursement is not appropriated, the Fire Department will not be able to utilize this funding to repair the damage to this vehicle, shifting the entire repair cost to the operating budget.
