Approximately $60,000 is for defending Alter Trading Corporation v. Ciry of Saint Paul. There will be significant discovery activity on the file between now and the end of the year. Second, the City owes approximately $35,000 in outside counsel fees for services provided on the Ramsey County/Saint Paul health merger.

Activity 09081 was budgeted at 5100,000.00 for 1997. To date, I have spent S123,263.06. I have estimated that I will need an additional 5111,000 doliars for 1997. i calculated this by using my experience foc the first seven months of 1997 and projecting the remainder of 1997 at the same rate. I have reviewed the claims already settied as well as the claims likely to settle during 1997. I do not anticipate any significant settlements during the remainder of 1997 which would require a further adjustment of my projection. 1 would recommend an increase in funds for tort claims of 5120,000. This does not include any funds which may be needed as a result of the July 1, 1997, flood ciaims. ( have also completed a preliminary analysis of the potential for storm claims as a result of the July 1, 1997, flood damage. I have received 16 ciaims. The amount ciaimed is S178,084. 1 have set reserves of 593,705 for these claims. I anticipate further claims as result of this storm, but l suspect that most of the claims have been submitted. At this point, I do not feel that the City will be found liable for many, if any, of these claims. My best guess of the liability exposure to the City is that we might pay between 520,000 and 540,000 as a resuit of these storm claims. I should have a much better estimate of our exposure by the end of September. �? � } �''' �`,? �� I '..J . . 4 � . I e .
