Retaining Dean, Ringers, Morgan and Lawton to Represent the City

request.
Councilman Hatfield moved for approval, second by Councilman
Hays. The motion CARRIED 4-0.
City Manager McMahon briefed Council on the damage of the
tornado. He stated it will probably exceed $100,000 just for the
City itself without personal property involved. He hopes to get
some type of recovery from the Federal Emergency Management
Association. It will probably be several months before we learn
of the outcome of that. He spoke about needing additional
overtime that has to be allowed for. He exercised the emergency
powers under the City and agreed to report back to Council as the
expenses occur. That money will have to come from the reserve
fund until we recover money from insurance or whatever it takes.
He commented on the work being done by the City crews helping to
clean up from the tornado.
Fire Chief Vola presented a report on the damage from the
tornado. Residential property damage up to this point is in the
vicinity of $400,000. There were no reports of significant
injury and no deaths.
Police Chief Schumaker commented on not being able to react to a
tornado due to how fast it happens. He commented on the response
of the professionals who helped after the tornado.
City Manager McMahon commented on how well the megahertz worked.
Chief Schumaker stated without the megahertz last night, the
chaos would have lasted for several more hours.
Councilman Hatfield thanked everyone including the citizens for
helping their neighbors. He is very thankful that there weren't
any deaths.
Councilman Hays commented on the dedication of city employees
that helped with the clean up from the tornado. He spoke about
the help received from the County and Port Orange. City Manager
McMahon stated he would be sending letters to them.
Councilman Mitchum commented on being lucky they have the reserve
fund to fall back on. He feels a great job was done by everyone.
