Councilman Thomas informed the Council that the present insurance for the City •
was inadequate and that our agent of record proposed increased coverage and sug-
• gested two plans, (1) a five year plan (short-rating existing policies),
(2) issuing policies for 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, or 5 years, and all
policies after they expire,* to be renewed on a five-year basis. The commission
for said policies would be paid to said agent of record, he to retain a certain
percentage and the rest of-the commission to be prorated to other insurance
agents as directed -by the Council° The Finance Committee made the following de-
410 termination of fact and recommendations (1) consolidating the policies was a
step in the-right direction; (2) that the valuations as arrived at are fair and
(3) that the savings by this type of insurance coverage would be the difference
between $9300 and $6400 over a 5-year period. This has increased the coverage from
$226,000 to $574,000, and they recommend a cycling of the policies from the 1 to
5-year period as suggested under Plan 2 by the ,insurance agent. Moved by Thomas,
seconded by Lawrence that said approval of the Finance Committee be accepted°
