<br />Minutes of Regular Meeting and Workshop Meeting held on March 9, 2009 <br /> <br />Page 6 <br /> <br />The City is not currently making lease payments on the Alamo building until such time it is <br />finished being renovated. The reason for leasing to the Art League is to promote the arts <br />and they will be giving deliverables back to the City in return. <br /> <br />The amount of money loaned to Garson Silvers is $150,000.00 in a collateralized loan for <br />six months. If he doesn't make his loan payments, the City has the building as collateral. <br /> <br />Pavilion - The reason for not having flood insurance on the building was due to its <br />elevated structure. The previous Risk Manager made this decision based upon <br />information and discussion with the insurance carrier. The flood damage was $45,000.00. <br />FEMA should reimburse the City for this amount. There was insurance on the building, <br />just not flood insurance. <br /> <br />The City will be meeting with Harris County to discuss the Pavilion. <br /> <br />National League of Cities Conference - March 13-18 - Washington, D.C. <br /> <br />Drainage and Flooding Committee Meeting - March 23, 2009 - 5:00 p.m. <br /> <br />City Council Meeting - March 23, 2009 <br /> <br />Mr. Bottoms noted there would be a presentation to the Texas Independence Relay team <br />at the next Council meeting. <br /> <br />14.
