COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 24,1996 <br />Resolution No. 96 - 29 can be found at the end of these minutes. <br />Consideration of Resolution No. 96 - 75, Determining the Necessity for and <br />Authorizing the Acquisition of Certain Property by Proceedings in Eminent <br />Domain, Clearwater Creek Development Center Street Utilities - The City is <br />currently planning the construction of street and utilities in the Clearwater Creek <br />Development Center. The acquisition of right-of-way is necessary for the proposed <br />improvements. Past discussions with property owners regarding the projects have been <br />received favorable and staff does not expect conflicts in acquiring the right-of-way. <br />However, with the adoption of the attached resolution, the City is certain to have the <br />right-of-way acquired in a timely manner so as not to delay the projects. <br />Council Member Kuether moved to approve Resolution No. 96 75 as presented. Council <br />Member Lyden seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. <br />CONSIDERATION OF WAIVING OR NOT WAIVING MONETARY LIMITS <br />ON TORT LIABILITY PER MINNESOTA STATUTE 466.04 <br />Mr. Schumacher explained that each year the City Council has the option of waiving its <br />monetary limits on tort liability to the extent of the limits of the excess liability coverage <br />obtained from the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust. This limit of liability <br />insurance is currently $600,000.00 per each occurrence or incident. <br />The city does carry an additional $1,000,000.00 in excess liability coverage <br />($1,000,000.00 per occurrence and annual limit) in the event that the limits were ever <br />declared to be unconstitutional. <br />The City has never waived its monetary limits on tort liability. Staff recommends that the <br />City Council not waive its monetary limits on tort liability at this time. <br />Council Member Kuether moved to not waive its monetary limits on tort liability <br />established by Minnesota Statutes 466.04. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. <br />Motion carried unanimously. <br />OLD BUSINESS <br />Consideration of Draft Letter to the Charter Commission Relating to Street <br />Improvement Issues - Mr. Schumacher started to write the draft letter and feels he <br />should speak to the Charter Commission Chairman to clarify some issues. He will speak <br />to the Chairman tomorrow and then finalize the draft letter and get it out to the City <br />Council for their review. The letter will then be presented to the Charter Commission at <br />their next meeting in July. <br />PAGE 26 <br />
