In an article published earlier today, March 26, 2013 Patch implied that a $1,850 payment for aerial photagraph was paid out of the general fund.  That is worng.

According to City Manager Connie Jackson, "This photography service and all other costs associated with rebuild and recovery are being covered through the Trust Fund established by agreement between the City and PGE. The Trust Fund is funded entirely (at a maximum amount of $50 million) by PGE. No "taxpayer money" is being used for these purposes."
