WHEREAS, in July 2022, a portion of the Inis Grove Park Restroom located adjacent Duff
Ave., caught on fire, resulting in approximately $145,000 worth of damage. The cause of the fire
was a garbage can fire adjacent the structure. It was determined by fire investigators that the fire
in the garbage can was intentionally set by individuals that had started two other fires in the park;
and,
WHEREAS, the restroom was renovated and opened to the public in the summer of 2020.
Staff contacted representatives from HPC,L.L.C.,who completed the 2020 renovation, to provide
a proposal to repair the fire damage. The proposal to repair the damage was estimated at$145,000
and was presented to the insurance company that represents the City. After an insurance adjuster
inspected the fire damage, a check in the amount of$112,580 was given to the City. The City has
a deductible of$25,000; and,
WHEREAS, during recent budget planning meetings, staff reallocated $25,000 of CIP
project savings to the FY 2022/23 Adjusted Budget in order to complete this project. Since HPC
L.L.C., completed the restroom renovation, they have the necessary information, expertise, and
material contacts to complete the repairs; and,
WHEREAS, the total funds available to complete the repairs is $137,580, leaving a
shortfall of$7,420. Staff discussed the shortfall with HPC L.L.C. and there are some line items on
