Regular City Council Meeting Monday, December 03, 2012 Page 6 Chief O'Neill further explained that the rationale for including East Metro SWAT in the contract is that some of those operations were outside the City of Roseville, but in mutual aid situations, it was important that they also had ad- vanced training as necessary to provide the best protection possible for the City's firefighters and residents. Chief O'Neill added that some, but not all, members of SWAT are Roseville firefighters, but that all personnel needed to consistently operate under Allina protocols. Mayor Roe observed that in training new firefighters, there were other choices beside Allina, but Exhibit B set the costs if the training services of Allina were used. Chief O'Neill concurred, noting that basic training was usually provided through the Fire Chief's Association with training by Allina; but that the ad- vanced training package (i.v.'s and medications) provided in service to Rose- ville residents required a specialized training and that was taught by Allina per- sonnel. McGehee moved, Johnson seconded, approval of an agreement between the City of Roseville and Allina Health Emergency Medical Services (Attachment A) for medical oversight and education; and authorized the Mayor and City Manager to execute the agreement. Roll Call Ayes: McGehee; Pust; Johnson; Willmus; and Roe. Nays: None. e. Consider Not Waiving Statutory Liability Limits for 2013 At the request of Mayor Roe, City Manager Malinen briefly summarized this request as detailed in the Request for Council Action (RCA) dated December 3, 2012. Councilmember Pust noted, and City Manager Malinen affirmed, that historical- ly the City chose NOT to waive Statutory Liability Limits. Councilmember Pust questioned if the City's current insurance policy maxed out at $1.5 million, or if it insured itself for a higher limit above that maximum for a single occur- rence. Finance Director Miller responded that this is the level for this type of claim under Minnesota State Statute. City Attorney Gaughan clarified that this was typically specific to torts. Mr. Miller cautioned that if the City waived the limit, it would be responsible for paying those claims if judgment was awarded.
