City staff told the Lynn Haven City Commission at a precommission meeting that a budget resolution will be brought forward to add funding to pay a Servpro invoice of $100,866.57 related to recent water damage.

A staff presenter said the city will pay the invoice up front and that the claim has been turned over to the city’s insurance carrier. “We anticipate so,” staff said when asked whether the city expects full reimbursement. Staff also told commissioners the contractor(s) responsible for the damaged pipe have paid for visible repairs such as sheetrock, flooring, painting and ceilings.

Commissioners asked about timing with insurance; staff said the invoice was submitted the day it was received and the insurer was conducting ongoing review. One staff member said the insurer’s adjuster was impressed with how quickly the city removed water and that the final billing may be less than initially expected.

Staff clarified the resolution will adjust the fiscal‑year 2025 budget (not fiscal 2026). The precommission discussion did not include a formal vote; staff said the resolution to add the funding and a separate approval of the invoice would be on the regular meeting agenda for action.

No dollar figure for an insurance deductible was confirmed on the record other than a staff comment referring to a $1,000 deductible in the policy context; staff said the city expects recovery through insurance processes.
