MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />Item 4 .Z. <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Mayor and Council <br /> <br />Lori Johnson, Finance Director <br /> <br />February 9, 2004 <br /> <br />Consider Voluntary Insurance l~uote from League of Minnesota <br />Cities Insurance Trust <br /> <br />The League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT) has provided a quote for accident <br />coverage for city volunteers upon the request of the City's insurance agent, Mary Eberley. <br />The city currendy purchases a separate worker's compensation insurance pohcy for board <br />and commission members. Volunteers who respond to an emergency situation are <br />automatically covered under worker's compensation insurance. The city has not purchased <br />coverage for other volunteers in the past unless; of course, if the city was negligent and <br />legally liable for the injury it was covered under the liability policy. <br /> <br />Attached is information from LMCIT outlining the proposed volunteer accident insurance <br />policy. Basically, this policy would insure volunteers who are not covered by worker's <br />compensation insurance such as volunteers for park, recreation, clean-up day, or other city <br />activities and programs. Currently, the recreation department uses around 30 volunteers for <br />the T-Ball program and expects that additional volunteers will be needed to assist with the <br />soccer program. There are also a few volunteers who assist other departments. <br /> <br />The premium for basic coverage for one year is $1,500 with an optional $675 per year for <br />medical benefit coverage. <br /> <br />Action Requested <br />The City' Council is asked to consider the proposed LMCIT Accident Coverage for City <br />Volunteers. <br /> <br />S:NCouncil~I,ori~2004~ InsuranceQuote.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
