Prementaiion un Public OL'1'iclat1w Liability tnj6uran-'e. Jim Foster wi,1.t be at 'luesda,y's meeting to make a presentation relative to Public Officials Liability Insurance. Thin presentation was initialed by council action at a previous meeting. Mr. Foster's presentation will include types and examples o1 the followingt 1- 10-7F 1. What city's present general liability in- surance covers. 2. What additional coverage would be received from Public Official's Liabili.cy Insurance. 3. Review of two proposals received for Public Micials Liability Insurance. Enclosed, please find a specimen copy of a public officials liability insurance policy. While some of LStu lagpage may be of a technical nature, I think it would be well. to read over and to ask Mr. Foster any specific questions at Tuesday's meeting. Additionally, I have talked to Gary Pringle relative to liability of the city council and city employees. Bezause of the nature of the subject, Mr. Pringle and I thought it would be best if he were present at Tuesday's meeting to answer any questions. Mr. Pringle will also explain the types of acts or omissions that the city council and employees arc liable for. Mr. Pringle also would recommend the city council review the enclosed memo from the League of MN. Cities on tort liability of city officers and employees. At this point Mr. Foster hags received two (2) pro- posals on Public Official's Liability Insurance ranging from $1100 to $5176 depending on amount and types of coverage which Mr. Foster will explain. POSSIBLE ACTION: Agenda item is intended for information purposes but if council feels comfortable with the question a motion could be made to purchase such Insurance and specific proposal to accept. It may be well to make any approval conditional upon further review by city attorney if neceswavy. REFERENCES: Copy of a Proposed Policy, League of CI.ties memo. Agenda Item IV. Removal of Snow Pence. On previous occasion there have been council inquiries on the removal of the snow fence at the former Fuller- ton Lumber site. Present owner, John Sandberg, has requested that the snow fence be allowed to remain until weath.r permits this spring because of potential liability problems. Mr. Sandberg said that while the vacant lot has bten cleared of the majority of the rubble from the fire, he is concerned about individuals cutting across the /- 10 -?F property and injuring themselves on cement slabs or whatever. Mr. Sandberg indicated that the firm he contracted with for the removal got a late start on the project and 100',5 removal has not been completed. I would recommend the snow fence be allowed to stand N a until. May 1, 1978, at which time the fence should be removed and the lot put in a °safe" condition. POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of time period for removal of snow fence. / Agenda Item V. Ordinance Amendment - Culvert Requirements. At the November 28, 1977 meeting, J. W. Miller regoe9t- ed an ordinance amendment relative to culvert re- quirements and minimum size standards. The city council requested an ordinance amendment be drawn up for consideration. Enclosed, please find an amendment which has also been sent to J. W. Miller for reivew. Please note that the 12 inch requirement is a minimum and the building inspector can require a larger size if necessary. Also provision has been made for the building inspector to waive culvert requirements if not determined necessary. An example. would be a new house being built in an area about to be served by storm sewer. n / POSSIBLE, ACTION: Consideration of grdinnnrn amendment, RUERENC ES: Proposed ordinance amendment. Agenda Item U. Consideration of Advertising for Bids on Former Senior Citizen Center Site. The former mi.to of the Senior Citizen Center has now been cleared and would be ready for sale. At a previous meeting it was council consrnsum La arll the pruperi.y. Although .it is not, required by .law, it may by bast fur the council to solicit bids on the property to offer everyone an equal opportunity to purchase U:c! land. I't' the bids are .low, the council could roject them and either hold the property or list, i,t, for sale on the open market. Tile properly .Itself is 273' by 105' or a total OF 45373 m quare fret. An appraisal was prrviou sly received on the- property June 24, 1476 of $16,500 it), Iudilit buildJngs. The appraiser indicated that the lot would appraise at approximately $10,000.
