Last year we did not waive the limits, and <br />neither did the City. The recommendation we have received from our insurance agent is not to <br />waive the limits. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: <br />This limits our exposure to $500,000 rather than $2,000,000 for an individual claimant; and <br />$1,500,000 rather than $2,000,000 for all claimants of a single occurrence. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br /> ResolutionNo. 22-6 - Electing Not to Waive the Statutory Tort Limits for Liability <br />Insurance <br /> LMCIT Liability Coverage Waiver Form <br /> <br />______________________________________________________________________________ <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />41 <br />
