Acting Mayor Jones said, thank you. Is there any public comment on the consent agenda which I’m sorry, I did not preface it by saying the consent agenda are items which are voted unanimously out of committee and are put on the consent agenda to save time? So, having gone through the items, is there any public comment on the consent agenda? Seeing none, is there any Council comment or questions? Mr. Ramos?
Alderperson Ramos said, thank you, Madam President. I had a question and it’s a claims number for $35,159.79. It’s a reimbursement for damage from the concert to Professional Baseball LLC Big Sky. I’m just basically curious, I know in the contract Nick Checota says that his company, Logjam, is going to cover that but I’m just kind of wondering two things. I’m guessing, $10,000 of that is probably some sort of deposit…not deposit but a deductible. There we go. Some sort of deductible.
Acting Mayor Jones said, okay. Do you want to speak to it, Jim? I can speak to it but you know a little more than I.
City Attorney Nugent said, the $10,000 is deductible. The rest of the money is from the MMIA for our property insurance. There was a claim made against our property insurance. They paid the $25,000 and some odd dollars and then the City had to pay the deductible, which is always the first $10,000 so that totals $35,000.
Alderperson Ramos said, follow-up?
Acting Mayor Jones said, sure. And just to provide more context, this was, I believe, from the concert this summer at the Osprey Stadium where the rain deluge hit and it compromise the field and then the baseball wasn’t able to play for a couple of games and, several games, and so anyway.
Alderperson Ramos said, okay.
Acting Mayor Jones said, there was a business interruption basically and per the contract this is how it plays out and there’s some insurance coverage so it’s one of those things you wish didn’t happen but it happened, so this is the course it takes then. Did you have other questions?
Alderperson Ramos said, yeah. So, is that different than the Mumford and Sons Concert that happened to happen during that rain, and kind of wrecked the field a little bit from that?
Acting Mayor Jones said, that’s the event that I’m referring to.
Alderperson Ramos said, okay, perfect. Can we divide the question please?
Acting Mayor Jones said, okay.
Alderperson Ramos said, 5.1 separate.
Acting Mayor Jones said, okay.
Alderperson Ramos said, thank you.
Acting Mayor Jones said, 5.1 claims, you want divided? Is that…
Alderperson Ramos said, ah, yes, just because of the Checota agreement.
Acting Mayor Jones said, okay. Is there any other questions or comments on the consent agenda? Ms. Vasecka?
Alderperson Vasecka said, I would just like to agree with Mr. Ramos on that one. I don’t think that the City should have to pay for the concern that in the contract it says that Logjam should pay for everything out of pocket for them and I don’t think that a city should pay the deductible so I’m going to vote no on that as well.
Acting Mayor Jones said, okay. Any other comments or questions? Seeing none, we’ll have a roll call vote on 5.1 and then following that, Marty, on 5.2 through 5.4.
Upon a roll call vote the motion passed with 8 Ayes, 3 Nays, 1 Absent
City Clerk Rehbein said, and now I’ll move to the rest of the consent agenda.
Upon a roll call vote the motion passed with 11 Ayes, 1 Absent
Acting Mayor Jones said, thank you.
