City of Centerville <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br />January 27, 2010 <br />City Administrator Larson reviewed background information on the Liability <br />Coverage from the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust stating cities must <br />decide whether or not to waive the statutory tort liability limits to the extent of the <br />coverage purchased. <br /> <br />Motion by Council Member Fehrenbacher, seconded by Council Member <br />Paar to authorize that the City does not waive the monetary limits on <br />municipal tort liability established by Minnesota Statutes 466.04. All in <br />favor. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />IX. ANNOUNCEMENTS/UPDATES <br /> <br /> City Administrator Dallas Larson <br /> <br /> <br />1.Insurance Renewal <br /> <br />City Administrator Larson reported that the City is in the process of renewing its <br />insurance on March 1, 2010. Staff has sent out a solicitation for a new insurance <br />agent contract for the upcoming year with the option that the City could extend <br />the contract for an additional four years. <br /> <br />Motion by Council Member Broussard Vickers, seconded by Council <br />Member Paar to authorize Staff to accept insurance agent proposal with the <br />most qualified company at the lowest cost. All in favor. Motion carried <br />unanimously. <br /> <br /> <br />2.Sidewalk Cleaning <br /> <br />City Administrator Larson reported Staff has sent out a number of notices <br />regarding the residents cleaning their sidewalks. The City has also had to clean a <br />number of sidewalks that haven’t been kept clear. <br /> <br />Mayor Capra noted her concerns with the latest storms. She stated with the snow <br />and freezing rain, City bobcats cannot clear down to the concrete because of the <br />ice. She noted circumstances such as where the City trucks plow snow onto <br />resident sidewalks and then the City is to clear those. She feels the City shouldn’t <br />assess back the fees at this time, asking Staff to review the policy of other cities <br />and for the City ordinance to be reviewed at a future work session. <br /> <br />Councilmember Broussard Vickers questioned when the City would then assess <br />fees, asking what is a reasonable time to do so? <br /> <br />Councilmember Love suggested that the Planning and Zoning Commission also <br />review the ordinance. <br /> <br />Page 3 of 5 <br /> <br />
