Mounds View City Council September 23, 2002 Regular Meeting Page 15 Council Member Marty commented that the City would receive $5,000 and the League would receive $40,0000. He then asked what Mr. Mortenson would get. City Attorney Riggs indicated Mr. Mortenson was paid for workers compensation and this is an issue of the City, through the League, recovering from the individual who caused the accident. Council Member Stigney asked if the total increase in premiums of $21,236 was a one-time penalty or if the City is continuing to be penalized. Finance Director Hansen explained that the workers compensation policy starts out with a base rate for each job classification and those rates are adjusted up or down based on an experience modifier that is determined by past claims. He then indicated that a claim drop off every three years. Council Member Marty commented that, if the City did not have any claims, then there would be no experience modifier. Finance Director Hansen indicated that, in theory, if the City had no claims for a year there would be a positive experience modifier and that would amount to a lower rate for the year.
