Mr. Griffin
The police cruiser that was totaled, it was determined as you can see from the proposal that $7,650 is coming
from the Property & Casualty Fund. Alderman Siegel’s question is, are we going after the party that caused
the damage and | just sent a text to Jen Deshaies and she will be able to get back to us on that. If we do get
funds, let’s say we get the $25,000; it would generally go into that Property & Casualty fund. We do have
enough money, if the Board so chooses, to move it from that fund into CERF. As you recall, one of the
suggestions that the members of the Board of Aldermen had was to any funds, either through insurance or
through the sale of vehicles that were originally purchased by CERF go back into CERF. There isn’t any such
mechanics right now because its revenue that’s not an appropriation but there was some discussion during the
budget process that if that could happen it might not conflict us from trading in versus outright sale of the
vehicle to more effectively fund CERF. We can get those answers pretty quickly. If Jen sees my text she will
probably get right back to me.
Alderman O’Brien
| don’t want to hold up the purchase of this vehicle because | think we can work in the background and get a
good operating vehicle back on the street for our police department.

ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Siegel
| know that Mr. Mansfield is here and | have a quick question about a pre-fab, drop down concrete room.
Normally these things are built on-site, is that correct?
