Notify LHCI'l' of the litigation; and <br /> 2. Select defense counsel. <br /> VIII. How much will this coverag_ cost? <br /> Initially, we'll he basing the charge for this coverage on the <br /> premium for the oity's liability ooverage. Generally, the cost <br /> will be 1.5% of the liability premium, subject to a $500 minimum <br /> premium. In an individual oity's case the premium could be <br /> somewhat higher if in the underwriter's judgement there is a <br /> substantially higher risk of Open Meeting Law olaims in that <br /> city, though we expect this to be rare. <br /> IX. HOW do we go about adding this ooverage tor our oity? . <br /> Have your agent contact LMCIT's underwriters at Berkley Risk <br /> Services and ask for an application form. The underwriters will <br /> be able to return quote fairly quickly. <br /> x. Whom can we call it we have other questions? <br /> rf you need additional information or have other questions, you <br /> can contact Tom Grundhoefer or Pete Tritz at the League office, <br /> or call the underwriter at Berkley Risk Services who handles <br /> your city. We'd also appreoiate any comments or suggestions <br /> city offioials have for ways this coverage could be improved, or <br /> for any other changes cities would like LMCIT to consider. <br /> 11/17/93 <br /> ~ - - -- . - . <br /> SO'd vOO'oN 3S:31 v6 S3 qa.:l 9:396-06"-319: l31 S3I1IJ NW .=10 3n9~3l <br />
