Dan Greene: City Insurance Policies <br /> <br />Dan Greene gave a brief update on the City's Insurance coverage through <br />the League of Minnesota Cities. He noted that the City has been covered <br />by the League for three years. Mr. Greene noted that he has quotes for <br />insurance coverage from the League. Marinco. and Penco. After comparing <br />the three quotes it was obvious that the cost of insurance through the <br />League was lower than through Marinco or Penco. Mr. Greene stated that <br />the League was actually lower than last year. but pointed out that the <br />figures are higher on paper. He noted this was because of the rate at <br />which the City has grown. <br /> <br />After discussion regarding the City's coverage through the League <br />compared to Marinco and Penco. it was the consensus of the Council to <br />continue the City's insurance coverage with the League of Minnesota <br />Cities for the 1988 calendar year. <br /> <br />5.1.
