<br />City of Englewood. A per day loss sales figure was estimated for each <br /> <br />store inundated. Sales tax was computed and included. <br /> <br />K. Loss of Employees' Salaries <br /> <br />No loss of employees' salaries was anticipated as it was believed <br /> <br />that most would be involved in clean-up or have the chance to put in <br /> <br />make-up hours later. Had the character of the flood damage and the <br /> <br />nature of the businesses affected been different, a loss would have been <br /> <br />estimated. <br /> <br />L. Vehicular Damage <br /> <br />A large underground parking facility exists at Cinderella City <br /> <br />Shopping Center in Englewood. The egress from that area can become im- <br /> <br />possible should a number of drivers attempt to leave at the same time. <br /> <br />The probability of such a situation arising was calculated and used as <br /> <br />the basis for estimating this special damage situation. <br /> <br />M. Financial Data <br /> <br />Financial personnel of jurisdictions financing the drainage improve- <br /> <br />ments (cities, counties, and drainage districts) should be contacted to <br /> <br />obtain the cost of their borrowed money and the interest at which they <br /> <br />can invest their idle funds. Municipal bond dealers that finance pro- <br /> <br />jects like urban drainage projects should also be consulted to see what <br /> <br />interest they would require to finance money for the jurisdictions <br /> <br />involved. The estimated amount of money to be financed will affect the <br /> <br />selection of the discount rate. <br /> <br />Step 7 - Obtain and Develop Appropriate Depth Versus Damage Tables or <br />Curves <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Flood damages are calculated with the use of depth of flooding versus <br /> <br />dollar damage tables and curves for various types of structures. Several <br /> <br />government organizations have compiled data of this type including the <br /> <br />66 <br />
