users. The Staff will proceed on the basis that Council wants to
acquire the land, In a most expeditious and appropriate method.
LIABILITY INSURANCE Vitosh A Jones present. 266-488
The City has been self-insuring. Now that the rates are down, the
City can obtain general liability with $100,000 deductible at a premium
of $73,000 or $250,000 deductible , premium $55,000. This would Include
the $13,000 premium for police liability. There is $300,000 in self-
insurance fund this year. Hayek commented that In addition to coverage
on vehicles and buildings we also have general comprehensive liability
from I million to 5 million, and what is needed Is coverage between
either $100,000 or $250,000 and one million. If this policy is obtained,
Vitosh would like to maintain a reserve In the amount of the deductible,
because the City would be responsible for claims under the deductible
amount. Council agreed that Finance should pursue the policy, on a
three-year basis.

staff on the checklist, have it mandatory, but add language on how
it is to be enforced, and to work on elimination of ceiling height
and other issues in State Code. Hayek can explain his position on
the enforcement of 'the checklist at the formal meeting.

explained his proposal. During winter, inspection for removal of
snow from sidewalks would occur. Public Works has also identified
the need.. Kucharzak suggested that HIS have responsibility from the
curb line In, and Streets have responsibility for area between curb
to curb. Council decided to leave the level where the City Mgr.
had put It -In HIS budget. Regarding enforcement of the Fire Code,
the Fire Dept. has not come up with a release or transfer of author-
ity to Housing for inspection In certain areas. Kucharzak ex-
plained with a graphic illustration the problem with fire exits at
Pentacrest Apts. Fed. money Is being sought to purchase an energy
audit calculator. As the majority of federal money will not be
available next year, employee situation was discussed. The question
was asked If the Fire Dept had time to do inspections. Need for
file clerks noted, and combination of secretarial duties of Public
Works and HIS, with elimination of secretary in PW in the long run
suggested, as word-processing has changed the workload. Re budget

of $3,080 insHousing Administration agreed to by a majority.
