Mr. R. M. O'Kelly, 'Chairman

.
The above premiums contemplate: 1. "All Risk" coverage on fixed
properties and'contents in a blanket a~reed anount o~ 8518,000.
subject to a deductible of $100. per loss. 2. Comprehensive General
Liability with a combined si~gle limit of liability of $300,000.
each occurrence for Bodily Injury and Property Damage. Personal
Injury liability is included. 3. Comprehensive Automobile Liability
with a combined single limit of liability of 9)00,000. for Bodily
Injury and Property Damage. 4.Automooile Physical Damage - Comprehensi'
coverage on all cars and $100, deductible collieion coverage on all
vehicles valued over $1,000. ~. "All Riek" floaters on miecellaneoue
equipment eubject to e deductible of $100. per loss. 6. "All Risk"
coverage on Valuable Papers and Records at the Vil18ge Hall in the
amount of $,,000. 7. Extra Expense at the Village Hall in the amount.
of 87,500. 8. Fidelity anG Faithful Performance Bond in the amount
of $,0,000. 9. Depositor'6 Forgery coverage in the amount of $50,000.
In addition to the coverages shown above thespecifioations also
requested auotatione for Umbrella Liability and Workmen's Compensation
Only one proposal for Umbrella Liability was reoeived, that from
Pr~poser No.4. The annual premium (1Uote<L1J;Lta0.5. for a policy with
a ~l,OOO,OOO. limit of liability and a retention of 810,000. for
uninsured perils.
With respect to Workmen's Compensation all proposers quoteG essentiall
the same estimated annual premium. This is to be expected in that the
rates are set by the Minnesota COffigensation Rating Bureau. The various
proposalS are set out on Schsdule A attached. It will be noted that
the estimsted annual premium oan be modified by the application of
different types of premium return plane.
Baeed on the proposalS submitted it is our recommendation that the
award of the Umbrella Liability coverage De made to Proposer No.5
with the request that he attempt to improve the premium in that the
aotual primary liability premiums are now known. It is our further
reoommendation that the remainder of the coverages be awarded to
Proposer No.4. This includes the Workmen's Compensation.
Further, our time preparatory to Ber.dir.~ ovt the insurance proposal
forms was not sufficient to aocomplish two things which we feel
should be done:
1. ~ecure replacement cost values of fixed properties to determine
the advisability of insurin~ far the cost to replace r~ther than
the depreoiated value.
.
2. Have a competent boiler in8~~nnce engineer survey all machinery,
heating units and t~e like t~ ~e:ermine if theBe items ohould be
insured against breakdown.
