Explanation
Background: On January 7, 2014, several interior pipes lost structural integrity and burst at the Central Safety Building, located at 120 Marconi Boulevard. This water infiltration was predicated by inclement weather and historically low temperatures. The damaged pipes were located on the 8th and 9th floors of the building and the resulting water flow caused damage beginning on the 9th floor and continuing downward to the auditorium level.
In addition to the damages related to the building itself, city employees also received damage to certain personal property items. These items were submitted to the City Attorney’s office for review and have been deemed as reimbursable items. Furthermore, these items were submitted to the city’s insurance carrier and were included in an insurance settlement check that the city received and deposited into the general permanent improvement fund.
This ordinance, therefore, authorizes the Finance and Management Director to establish purchase orders and process reimbursement payments to certain city employees whose personal property was damaged during the water intrusion that occurred at the Central Safety Building in January 2014.
Fiscal Impact: This legislation authorizes the expenditure of $2,421.00 from the General Permanent Improvement Fund.
Emergency action: is requested so city employees can be reimbursed for their damaged personal property as quickly as possible.
