ON THE QUESTION
Mayor Donchess
| believe Ms. Deshaies is here on this? Or you Ms. Parkinson, | don’t know who is covering this?
Kelly Parkinson, Purchasing Manager
Yes it’s me, Ms. Marchant e-mailed and asked me to cover tonight for her on this.
Mayor Donchess
Ok, go ahead.
Ms. Parkinson
Sure, this is for a van that was totaled in April for the transit. It was reimbursed for $63,865.00 by Risk to the
Capital Reserve Fund. The balance was approved by the Budget Review on August 5". It’s a like for like
replacement.
Mayor Donchess
Questions? Alderman O’Brien.
Alderman O’Brien
Thank you, Mr. Mayor. | Know the answer because we have these situations that have occurred before. As
with anything else, you put a vehicle on the road, you can expect an accident to happen. But however | am
referring to an e-mail that | think all of us Aldermen have gotten by one concerned citizen that was basically, |
don’t know if it was accusatory, but the question was raised. And maybe they didn’t completely understand our
process. So! am going, for that particular person and to the general public, when we do have part of the City
equipment that is involve in an accident such as this and when it is appropriate, if we can get insurance money
that money, can you just reaffirm that that money does somehow travel back and get into CERF and replace
the cost to that particular item. I'll throw it out there if somebody can just verify that is our procedure.
Mayor Donchess
Well Ms. Deshaies is here from Risk but basically the amount that we can recover from insurance yes goes
into CERF but it doesn’t necessarily cover the entire cost of replacement, a new vehicle.
Alderman O’Brien
Well | am good thank you.
Mayor Donchess
In this case, | think we recovered $63,000.00 or something like that. What was the number, Ms. Deshaies?
Ms. Parkinson
| have it, it’s $63,865.00.
