It is a set aside program for any <br />building that is on fire or explodes, or has any cost associated with it that is insured. It is a $100 <br />fee for us, and if someone is insured and decides to walk away, there is money set aside for us to <br />cover any expenses that we incur in fixing that problem, whether we are boarding it up, securing <br />it, demolishing it, or making repairs. <br />Councilmember Tim Scott asked if this is an Indiana State -based program, if they cover <br />everything, and how it is administered through the Department of Code Enforcement. <br />Mr. Wilkerson stated that when a damaged building is insured, the Department of Code <br />Enforcement contacts them and lets them know that we have an interest in the building, and the <br />funds will be set aside. If the owner does not take action, those monies would come to the <br />department to cover the expenses. <br />Councilmember Scott asked what the turnaround is like. <br />Mr. Wilkerson stated that he does not have that information. <br />Committee Chair Voorde inquired about environmental remediation. <br />455 County -City Building • 227 W.
