POLICY STATEMENTS - BILL HUSBANDS
The City Manager explained that Bill Husbands, City Insurance Consultant,
was asked to do a Risk Management Study of the City and he has three policy
statements for the Council to go over.
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 and Mr, Husbands
will work to straighten out the language in the statements.
Mr. Husbands gave a brief report on the Johnson and Swanson cases.
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.
COMMENTS & SUGGESTIONS FROM CITIZENS PRESENT
The Mayor asked if there were any comments or suggestions from citizens
present. Russ Peterson stated t-hat maybe the language in the Risk Manage-
ment Statement could .read as follows: `'The City of Mound strives to
prevent any loss of life or serious .personal injury to employees or members
of the general public".
CABLE T.V. UPDATE
The City Manager submitted the Executive Summaries of the two Cable T.V.
Bids that were received this last week. He then reported that now we
will begin the process of analysis, public hearings and general discussion
leading to the selection and awarding of a Cable Franchise. Hopefully
.the awarding of the Franchise will take place .sometime during February or
March, 1983. With that timetable, construction would take place next
Summer and some parts of the Gity would be ready to operate in the Fall
or early Winter of 1983.
He further explained that the Committee has met and set up guidelines
for their relations with the proposers.
