Fiscal Impact Statement: The MFC reports that to date, the insurance company has provided $15 million in insurance proceeds for costs related to the Da Vinci Complex Fire which impacted the Figueroa Plaza Towers. Currently, these funds are sufficient to offset the costs that have been incurred for building and nonbuilding expenses. It is anticipated that there will not be a General Fund impact for the existing or new CBRE contract due to the existing and anticipated proceeds from the insurance policy. All cost estimates will be reviewed by CBRE, Bureau of Engineering, and GSD, and cleared by the insurance adjustor. Additionally, the costs for the City support costs have already been approved by XL Group and will be covered by insurance proceeds.

Community Impact Statement: None submitted.
