Bill Husbands was present and explained each of the following policy statements: 1. Loss Prevention Statement - a pre-loss statement to bring things to employees attention. 2. Loss Control Statement - after a loss statement aimed at helping and employee to get thru the loss. 3. Risk Management Statement - statement of the .City's position on losses. 244 November 23, 1982 The Council has some objections to the language in the Statements. Council- members Polston and Swenson felt the City has no right to dictate where an employee is first seen by a physician.

The City Manager gave a report on the total claims for this past year, a very insignificant amount of approximately $2,600. This should make the experience mode for the City lower.
