Insurance Package/Renewal The City received a letter from David Holmberg, Zignego Agency Inc., which is our insurance agent through the League of Minnesota Cities, with a copy of the renewal premium and summary by the League of Minnesota Cities. The premium increases $2,079 from last year, but can be attributed to the purchase of new equipment, the biggest being the new fire truck. The renewal also reflects the increased limits of tort liability, for local units of government, which was made by the 1997 legislature. Dave Holmberg has recommended the City obtain the excess liability coverage. In the past, the City has declined the excess liability coverage. LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 17, 1998 8
