At this time the Council zeviewed a letter from the City Attorney concerning _ information on insurance liability payments under State Statutes and a tabula- tion of insurance proposals received from three .agents on various insurance coverages for the City of Lakeville. Each type of coverage was reviewed and the premiums for the coverage. Comgarisons were made between the three agents making. the proposals and the premium paid for the same coverage during 1976. The City Administrator recommended that the Council ..delete .the purchase of the $1,000,000 Umbrella coverage 'because of the high ,increase in premium: compared to 1976 premium of $2,500. It was also pointed out that the present insurance company, Midland, has until May 12, 1977 on the .current policy. The -City could save money by letting that policy run its course until May 12, 1977. It was recommended that the Council direct the successful agent to continue his inquiry with other insurance companies in an effort to obtain an Umbrella policy for a lower premium, or obtain an overlapping coverage of $500,000 for` the liquor liability insurance only.. The Council 'decided to follow this re- ,commendation. Mr. Brian-Lundquist and Mr. Vic:Kohlnhofer discussed with the Council their proposals and reviewed eight items listing the service they-would provide the City as appointed insurance agents. The Administrator pointed out-that the insurance proposal .required each ,.agent to list who and what thep-would do to provide various services to the City that would result in the best coverage for the. lowest premium and help to reduce this coverage which would. hopefully Lead to lower premiums in the future. Zt was a matter of making ,the successful agent perform in accordance with their proposal. Green Tree Agencp,'Inc. was the low bidder on the various insurance :coverages' by-over $5,.000 over the next proposal from Mr. Lundquist and Mr. Kohlnhofer. Mayor Mako explained that in today's times it would be very difficult 3ust to try and explain to the public why a higher price was paid, even though the specifications allow the Council to award a purchase to other than the lowest bidder. During the course of the discussion on insurance, the Council .directed-.the City Administrator to have the insurance agent selected to include the auxiliary police force under the Workmen's Compensation coverage and to see if a similar..coverage.,that is provided the volunteer firemen can also be provided to the auxiliary policemen. The Council,.: Attorney, Administrator and agents .present also discussed the need for an errors and omission coverage on elected and appointed City.- officials. The Administrator was directed to begin the process to obtain a quotation from he successful agent for this type of-insurance coverage. 76.67`2 Motion. was fade by Mako, seconded by Curry to award the purchase of he various insurance coverages to the Green Tree Agency, Inc. for he coverages and premiums shown on the tabulation amounting to $51,300.64, not ncluding the Umbrella coverage."
