City Council Study Session Meeting Minutes May 22, 2001 Page 3 • 1 Mayor Cavanaugh asked how many other cities waive this policy. Mr. Bennetsen said it was 2 about 50%. 3 Mr. Bennetsen indicated this is the second year that the City of St. Anthony has waived the 4 policy. Mornson added that the League has just provided them with the opportunity for more 5 coverage, which is why they have the ability to waive the policy. 6 Councilmember Sparks asked Mornson what he recommended. Mornson stated that he was in 7 favor of waiving the policy so that if any members of the community had a legitimate claim, they 8 would get the greatest amount of money that they possibly could. He added that it also provided 9 the City of St. Anthony with more protection at a very modest cost. 10 Mayor Cavanaugh stated that his only concern was that they were waiving a state statute. Mr. 11 Bennetsen stated that the way the policy is drafted, and the way the Resolution is drafted, it states 12 up to the limits of the policy is how much it is waived. 13 Mornson stated that the City Attorney recommended that they go with the higher limits last year. 14 Motion by Horst to adopt Resolution 01-063, re: Waive monetary limits on tort liability. 0 Motion carried unanimously. 16 C.
