AUTHORIZAION TO JOIN DIVERSION SOLUTIONS PROGRAM
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Approve Lakeville Police Department
joining Diversion Solutions Program
Overview
The Lakeville Police Department is seeking approval to join a “traffic violation” diversion
program titled Diversion Solutions.
The purpose of the program is to help people keep a valid driver’s license. A “merry-go-round”
problem exists for people that are driving after their license has been cancelled, suspended, or
revoked. Once this happens, people are often unable to get to work, transport kids, and get to
medical appointments. Drivers will often take a chance and drive for the necessities. If the driver
gets caught again, they receive another ticket, have their car towed, and have their license taken
away for even longer. It tends to be a vicious circle.
Diversion Solutions offers a class to those who drive without a license. The class teaches
personal responsibility to the participants. Drivers only qualify if they are free of other crime and
civil matters. If they owe child support, have a pending “fleeing police charge” or a variety of
other crimes, they are not invited to attend.
For each driver who does qualify and attends the class, the city will receive $100.00 of the
registration fee. Currently, the city receives approximately $66.00 for each driver’s license
violation. Each traffic stop for this type of violation costs the city roughly $100.00 - $200.00,
which includes the administrative time, officer’s court time, prosecutor’s time and the D.C.C.
charge. If a driver agrees to participate, the ticket is dismissed and they are allowed to get their
license back, which avoids the “merry-go-round” spoken of earlier.
The program will help us work together with drivers to ensure they drive with a license, instead
continually driving without.
Primary Issues to Consider
• Diversion Solutions is the only diversion program approved by the State of Minnesota
• The program is free of charge to join
• The program will give us a better opportunity to recover the real costs of a traffic stop
• Elliot, Knetsch, our City Prosecutor, recommends this program

applicable statutes.
B. Auto Insurance – Owned and unowned

policy form title), or equivalent policy form, providing coverage on an “occurrence,” rather than
on a claims made basis, the policy for which shall include, but not limited to, coverage for bodily
injury, property damage, personal injury, contractual liability (applying to this contract),
Independent Contractors, and Products-Completed Operations Liability. Coverage for explosions,
collapse and underground hazards shall not be included.
Such a policy shall name the City as an additional insured thereunder, and shall apply on a
primary basis with respect to any similar insurance maintained by the City, which other insurance
of the City, if any, shall apply in excess of Diversion Solutions insurance and not contributed
therewith. Diversion Solutions agrees to maintain Products-Complete Operations coverage on a
continuing basis for a period of at least two years after date of completion
Such Commercial General Liability insurance policy shall provide a combined single limit in the
amount of at least $2,000,000 (two million) Each Occurrence, applying to liability for bodily
injury and property damage, and a combined single limit of at least the same amount applying to
liability for Personal Injury and Advertising Injury. Such minimum limits may be satisfied by the
limit afforded under Firm’s Commercial General Liability Insurance Policy, or by such Policy in
combination with limits afforded by an Umbrella or Excess Liability Policy (or policies), provided
that the coverage afforded under any such Umbrella or Excess Policy is at least in all material
respects as broad as that afforded by the underlying Commercial Liability Policy, and further that
the City is included as an additional insured thereunder.
Such Commercial General Liability Policy and Umbrella or Excess Liability Policy (or policies)
may provide aggregate limits for some or all of the coverage afforded thereunder, so long as such
aggregated limits are not at any time during which such coverage is required to be maintained
hereunder reduced to less than the required Each Occurrence limit stated above, and further, that
the Umbrella or Excess Liability provides from the point that such aggregate limits in the
underlying Commercial General Liability Policy become reduced or exhausted. An Umbrella or
Excess Liability Policy which “drops down” to respond immediately over reduced underlying
limits, or in place of exhausted underlying limits, but subject to a deductible or “retention”
amount, shall be acceptable in this regard so long as such deductible or retention amount does not
cause the firm total deductibles or retention for Each Occurrence to exceed $10,000.

D. Professional Liability:
Liability Insurance in the amount of at least $1,000,000 Each Occurrence (or “Wrongful Act” or
equivalent) and if applicable, Aggregate, covering Diversion Solutions Liability for negligent acts,
errors, or omissions in the performance of professional services in connection with this
Agreement. Diversion Solutions Professional Liability Insurance may afford coverage on an
occurrence basis or on a claims basis. It is, however, acknowledged and agreed by Diversion
Solutions, that under claims-made coverage, changes in insurers or in insurance policy forms
could result in the impairment of the liability insurance protection intended for the City hereunder.
Diversion Solutions therefore agrees that it will not seek or voluntarily accept any such change in
its Professional Liability Insurance coverage if such impairment of the protection for the City
could result; and further, that it will exercise its right under any Extended Reporting Period (“tail
coverage”) or similar claims-made policy option if necessary or appropriate to avoiding
impairment of such protection.
Diversion Solutions further agrees that it will, throughout the entire period of 2 years, keep
required coverage and for an additional period of two (2) years following completion of this
agreement, immediately:
(a) advise the City of any intended or pending change in Professional Liability insurance or in
policy forms, and provide the City with all pertinent information that the City may reasonably
request to determine compliance with this paragraph; and (b) advise the City of any claims or
threat of claims that might reasonably be expected to reduce the amount of such insurance
remaining available for the protection of the City.
