it did.

Councilman Grainger commented it is difficult to compare coverage from a pool with that
purchased from an insurance company.
Mayor Kennedy called Bob Worthington to get more information on the coverage.
Mr. Worthington provided the following information by Speakerphone:
The auto liability provides the same liability limits as the basic policy. The policy
does not provide physical damage.
The iail would be covered.
The liability coverage is $1,500,000 per occurence and $750,000 per individual. The
6.25 million dollar bond issue was sold to provide a catastrophic loss pool.
If t is pool was used up, either another bond issue could be floated, or the program
could be dissolved.
There are provisions for removing members from the pool if they are not following
the rules.
He was not aware of any problems other cities have had in blending their coverage
during the conversion to pool coverage.
The bond issue obligation was apportioned among the member cities based upon their
taxable valuation. The reserves are being developed through the premium base.
The only costs other than the initiation fee and premiums are the deductible costs.
He confinned he had estimated our premium amounted to about $60,000 based upon a rate
of $2.75 per $100.00 of annual payroll.
There were no further questions and the phone call ended.
Councilman Grainger explained our Police Liability coverage is expiring April 7, 1987.
We are looking for replacement coverage but the company we are talking to will require
a jailer whenever someone is in the facility.
