Hugo City Council Meeting Minutes for March 19, 2012 Page 3 of 6 Approve Resolution on Statutory Tort Liability Limits In the late 1990's, the League of Minnesota Insurance Trust required each city that obtained liability coverage from them to decide whether or not to waive the statutory tort liability limits to the extent of the coverage purchased.

Currently these limits are $500,000 per claimant and $1,500,000 per occurrence.
