Insurance Reimbursements for Property Damages

by Sue

I work for a small municipal authority. We do fund accounting. Received two checks for storm damage on property from insurance. One was for tree removal and the other was for repairs to the building the tree fell on.

Don't know how to categorize. The only revenue category I have that it would fit in would be under Misc. Revenue but I don't think that is correct. If I create another category what would I call it? Also when I pay out for the repairs and tree removal I'm not sure how to categorize that either.
