MINUTES CITY COUNCIL MARCH 23, 1994 The Administrator reported that he will contact Decision Resources for the final scope of services, cost, and information on how the process will work, including participation of focus groups in that process. DELETION OF The City Administrator reported that the City is MEDICAL paying a$300 annual premium for Medical Payments PAYMENTS Coverage. The City has the option of deleting this CoVERAGE coverage, and the Administrator pointed out the League of Minnesota Cities memo on this subject. The Administrator reported that in reviewing the information provided from the League, it was his recommendation that the City delete its Medical Payments Coverage and take advantage of the cost savings. The Administrator stated that should someone get hurt on City property and have a settlement coming, the City's policy would provide for that settlement anyway under current coverage. Scalze suggested that Medical Payments Coverage gives the City some flexibility and is not very expensive. Scalze asked if the Administrator did not believe in the public relations value of having this type of insurance. The City Administrator pointed out that deletion of Medical Payments Coverage gets away from a double- insurance situation in many instances. The Administrator also pointed out that the City's insurance through the League's Trust is flexible enough that if there were negligence on the part of the City, the City could ask the League to consider making a settlement. Mr. Morelan introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION N0. 94-3-77 - DELETING THE CITY~S MEDICAL PAYMENTS COVERAGE The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by LaValle. Ayes (5) Morelan, LaValle, Hanson, Pedersen, Scalze. Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. 8
