Elk River _ - <br />Municipal Utilities UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING <br />TO: <br />FROM: <br />ERMU Commission <br />Melissa Karpinski — Finance Manager <br />MEETING DATE: <br />AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: <br />April 8, 2025 <br />2.3 <br />SUBJECT: <br />Resolution Electing Not to Waive Statutory Tort Limits for Liability Insurance <br />ACTION REQUESTED: <br />Adopt Resolution 25-4 Electing Not to Waive the Statutory Tort Limits for Liability Insurance <br />BACKGROUND: <br />The League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT) requires annual approval of the <br />Utilities' intent to waive or not waive the statutory limits on tort liability as set forth in <br />Minnesota Statutes. <br />DISCUSSION: <br />Attached is the Waiver form which also has information regarding making a decision on <br />whether to elect not to waive, or to waive, the statutory limits. Last year we did not waive the <br />limits, and neither did the City. The recommendation we have received from our insurance <br />agent is not to 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 />• Resolution No. 25-4 - Electing Not to Waive the Statutory Tort Limits for Liability <br />Insurance <br />• LMCIT Liability Coverage Waiver Form <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />41 <br />
