CITY COUNCIL <br />AGENDA ITEM 3A <br /> <br /> <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Karlson, City Administrator <br /> <br />MEETING DATE: May 28, 2019 <br /> <br />TOPIC: Consider Resolution No. 19-69, Amending VLAWMO JPA <br /> <br />VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 <br /> <br /> <br />INTRODUCTION <br /> <br />The Vadnais Lake Area Water Management Organization (VLAWMO) is seeking agreement <br />from its membership for a first amendment to the 2017 Joint Powers Agreement. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />VLAWMO is applying for insurance coverage through the League of Minnesota Cities <br />Insurance Trust (LMCIT). In order to do that, VLAWMO is being required to expand its <br />current language in the JPA regarding insurance. The underlined language in the attached <br />“First Amendment to the Joint Powers Agreement to Protect and Manage Vadnais Lake <br />Watershed” would amend the insurance and liability section of the JPA. <br /> <br />Currently, VLAWMO has Public Errors and Omissions Insurance through Professional <br />Government Underwriters, Inc. The cost has doubled in the last year, sparking a hunt for <br />alternative coverage. VLAWMO anticipates a savings of about 20 percent and better coverage <br />with LMCIT. The additional language in the amended JPA is required by LMCIT in order to <br />provide coverage. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />Approval of Resolution No. 19-60, amending Joint Powers Agreement to protect and manage <br />the Vadnais Lake Area Watershed. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS <br /> <br />Resolution No. 19-60 <br />First Amendment to the JPA to Protect and Manage Vadnais Lake Watershed
