SUBJECT: 2021-2022 Proposed Budget – Responses to Questions from October 26, 2020
The Committee of the Whole deliberated the 2021-2022 Budget on Monday, October 26. Below
is a response to a question raised at that time.
Human Services/Risk Management
1. How much money is owed to the City from third parties for property damage?
* Includes $100K stoplight.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• Unfortunately, many responsible parties causing damage are uninsured. The City
sends a letter and invoices to the individual, but we are often unable to collect
due to a lack of funds, bad contact information, moving, and other reasons.
Cases may be sent to collections through a joint process with Finance. We have
also requested that the DMV suspend licenses in an attempt to collect.
• If the damage is caused by a suspect during an arrest or criminal act, an order of
restitution is left to the courts.
• There are many subrogations in progress. We are still pending collections for
2018-2020. Sometimes, there are delays due to the time it takes to make repairs
and gather costs. For example, replacing some light poles takes up to one or two
years. The city has up to three years to collect.
• Sometimes the insurance does not cover the full amount of damage due to
policy limits.
2018 2019 2020
Funds Collected to Date $118,379.47 $49,507.70 $6,371.38
Funds Owed $147,611.12 $93,160.82 $128,972.42
• Uninsured $24,912.03 $44,287.07 $5,235.64
• Restitution Ordered $29,551.63 NA $8,537.15
• In Process with Insurance $93,147.46 $48,873.75 $115,199.63*
