Committee approves $2,500 deductible payment from contingency for damaged ladder truck
Summary
The finance committee authorized using contingency funds to pay a $2,500 insurance deductible after a ladder truck sustained garage‑door damage; insurer reimbursement was reported at about $9,700 against an estimated bill near $11,000.
Finance members approved using contingency funds to cover a $2,500 insurance deductible for repairs to a City of Mayville fire ladder truck.
Staff reported the total repair bill is almost $11,000 and that insurer reimbursement to date is about $9,700. The incident occurred when the garage door was struck; staff identified a vendor capable of completing body and paint work but said parts may take six to nine weeks to arrive. Committee members discussed prior minor damage to the same apparatus earlier in the year and confirmed the contingency fund balance can cover the deductible.
The committee authorized transferring $2,500 from the contingency fund to the fire department to pay the deductible and proceed with repair scheduling.
