specifications and updated to reflect new exposures.
Mayor Pickar questioned if the $1,000,000 umbrella coverage was
really needed. Mr. Donohue said that in his judgment it is impor-
tant to carry it, and questioned where the funds would come from
if someone did successfully sue the City in excess of their
liability coverage.
There was much general discussion on the options available and
whether or not to include them. Broken glass coverage was not
bid because the specifications did not list all the windows to
be covered. The premium for that coverage would not be expensive.
Admin. Achen stated that boiler and machinery coverage should be
included.
MSP (Pickar- Baumgartner) to accept the bid of Mr. Donohue from the
Donohue - Thornton Agency for basic coverage in the amount of $45,618,
with the additional options of $500,000 public liability coverage,
$1,000,000 public official coverage and boiler and machinery
coverage, and request a bid on the $1,000,000 umbrella coverage.5 ayes
MSP (Pickar - Ziebarth) to direct the City Administrator to investi-
gate the possibility of hiring a professional insurance consultant
to consider the possibility of a reduction in some areas for future
insurance. 5 ayes
MINOR SUBDIVISION REQUEST OF GOODWIN AMUNDSON FOR 7990 SUNNYSIDE
ROAD. Goodwin Amundson has requested to subdivide his lot 165 feet
by 231 feet into two lots. The northerly lot is to be 85 feet by
231 feet and the southerly lot to be 80 feet by 231 feet. Mr.
Amundson had surveys drawn up for an equal split. However, after
consulting with the staff and his attorney, he decided to request
an unequal split to obtain the yard storage of his boat.
The Planning Commission had previously been requesting that 165 foot
lots be split eaually. However, since the Council did not fully
support that position, the Commission was reluctant to insist upon
it in recent situations. The Amundson request was turned down by
the Planning Commission at their April 13th meeting when a tie
vote occurred and one member abstained.
MSP (Hodges - Rowley) to approve the request of the Goodwin Amundson
minor subdivision for two lots, one to be 85 feet by 231 feet and
the other to be 80 feet by 231 feet with a variance of five feet
for the paved area. 5 ayes
Councilmember Rowley stated that she felt the Planning Commission
members should be required to vote since they are there to serve
a purpose. Mayor Pickar agreed that if everyone has the same
information, they should all be required to vote. Atty. Meyers
suggested that it could be recommended by the Chairman of the
Planning Commission that no one be allowed to abstain. Council -
member Baumgartner stated he would bring it up at the next Plan-
ning Commission meeting on May llth.
