The Whitaker Borough Council voted July 8 to authorize the secretary to finalize an insurance claim with Eagle Martin for a damaged salt bin, recording a replacement cost of $22,661.16 and a $1,000 deductible. Council noted an additional $2,411.83 depreciation figure may be reimbursable if invoices are submitted.

"Replacement cost $22,661.16, deductible $1,000, total cash $21,661.16," the meeting record states; Matt Pasquantonio moved the measure and David Funk seconded. Council later authorized advertising an RFP for demolition and replacement of the salt bin in The Valley Mirror and the Post‑Gazette, a motion moved by Robert Silvasy and seconded by Matt Pasquantonio that passed with all present members voting in favor.

The actions signal the borough's immediate steps to both secure insurance proceeds and solicit bids for a replacement structure; no timeline for demolition was specified during the meeting.
