He noted that these limits <br />INSURANCE were discussed as part of updating the City's Liquor Ordinance. The <br />LIMITS current ordinance requires minimum limits in line with State Statute, <br />which are $50,000 per person and $100,000 per occurrence. These limits <br />have been in effect in State Law since at least 1985. The Administrator <br />indicated that given statutory changes requiring higher insurance limits for <br />other matters, it may be appropriate to raise the minimums liquor liability <br />limits required by the City. The Administrator reported that he submitted <br />this as a policy issue to the League of MN Cities Service Policy Delivery <br />Committee and they will review it. The Administrator also noted from <br />previous discussion that of the surrounding cities, only Roseville requires <br />higher limits than State Law. <br />The Administrator then reviewed the limits in place for each of the City's <br />businesses that hold liquor licenses. Most of these businesses have limits <br />in the $1 million to $2 million dollar range. The lowest limits in place are <br />$300,000 per occurrence and per aggregate. <br />11 <br />
