The City of Butler has received reimbursement from their insurance company to begin repairs from recent vandalism at a local park.
Two men and a juvenile caused $16,000 in damage at Father Marinaro Park last month when they spray painted graffiti.
A settlement of $14,000 includes depreciation of the property as well as a $1,000 deductible. Councilman Jeff Smith would like to see restitution made by those responsible.
“I’m hoping that if the people are found guilty and are forced to reimburse, we’ll be able to reimburse the insurance company,” Smith said.
Police have given the go-ahead to start repairing the damage which is expected to take a couple weeks.
