VII. PETITIONS AND COMPLAINTS 1. Mr. & Mrs. Moe, 7040 Brian Court Mayor Swedberg explained that Mrs. Moe had hit a water valve cover that then came up and did some damage to her new car. City Attorney Hoeft indicated that Mr. Palzer hCl,d contacted him to ask how the matter should be handled. He then explained that he had told Mr. Palzer that the City should submit an estimate to the City's insurance carrier and the insurance carrier will determine whether it is a covered item or not. Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated that she did not think the City should submit this claim as it is fairly small and insurance companies use all claims whether opened or closed without paying to determine how policies are renewed which could affect rates. City Attorney Hoeft indicated that the League of Minnesota Cities would research the matter without opening a claim or causing the City any problems with policy renewal. Mayor Swedberg directed Ms. Bender to contact the Moes to request a damage estimate and to contact the League of Minnesota Cities for advice on how to proceed. 2.
