Mr Rooney said that the residence located at 11913 E 80th St N suffered damage due to a sewer
back up into the home on January 26, 2000 and again on March 3, 2000. The back up was the

identified problem. Although the insurance carrier denied the claim for both incidents, it was the

opinion of the city attorney that the city does have some exposure regarding the incident,
especially since it occurred twice, and that the claim should be paid. Total cost of the clean up

damages in a timely manner, while reimbursement is sought from the insurance carrier. The city
main that caused the damage to the residence has now been repaired. Mr Williams moved,

hiring of four additional police officers for the 2000-2001 fiscal year. If the City is awarded a
grant, a request will be brought to the City Council to accept the grant. Tom Kimball raised a
