responded. She explained a matrix was prepared from the information that was
provided from these companies.
Councilmember Mu~oz asked why staff recommends changing coverage. Ms. Romero
explained that the coverage recommended by staff is a joint purchasing program which
specializes in municipalities. She stated that the City would generally cover small losses
and insure for big losses.
Mr. Hemme informed the Council that some of the carriers under the recommended
program are non-admitted carriers in the State of California. He indicated that this may
be a violation of the insurance code.
Ms. Romero explained that the program recommended has multiple carriers, two of
which are not admitted. She stated that these carriers, however, have an A+ + rating,
which is higher than Aetna, the City's current carrier. She also explained she has a
letter from the insurance Commission, allowing use of this type of coverage.
Councilmember Birdsall stated she does not feel it is wise to change insurance coverage
mid-term, based on the costs involved.
Councilmember Parks asked Mr. Hemme if the premium would go down if the deductible
on the City's current policy was $5,000. Mr. Hemme answered the difference would
be approximately $1,800.
Mayor Pro Tem Stone stated he feels a miscommunication has occurred regarding
insurance coverage, and feels the City would prefer to have a high deductible and add
other needed coverages.
It was moved by Councilmember Parks, seconded by Councilmember Mu~oz to continue
this item to the meeting of October 11, 1994 with direction to staff to re-evaluate
quotes from both companies under consideration at the higher coverage limits.
The motion was unanimously carried.
"No Parking" 7one on Diaz Road from Rancho California Road to 160 Feet North of
Avenida Alvarado
Councilmember Parks expressed concern that striping a turn lane, would not allow
passing on Diaz Road.
Director of Public Works Tim Serlet explained this would be providing a safe turn pocket
and the business owners along Diaz have requested this action.
It was moved by Councilmember Parks, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Stone to approve
staff recommendation as follows:
