Risk Management Claims Administration Assistant City Manager Mark Ochenduszko presented the staff report and explained that the intent of the proposed resolution is to have staff manage the risk liability of the City. He explained that this action will only result in staff dealing with those claims which are considered "minor". He further recommended that all claims be discussed, where possible, in Executive Session due to the fact they represent potential litigation. Councilmember Lindemans stated he is uncomfortable not knowing the nature of all the claims that the City receives, including those under $15,000. He said he would like to have a detailed report on each claim even if they are not large enough to be placed on the agenda for formal Council action. Councilmember Moore suggested that if the City is successful in becoming enrolled in the Joint Powers Insurance Authority (JPIA), a report is required to be directed to them regarding all claims. The Council could be copied on that report rather than preparing a separate one to the Council. City Manager Dixon suggested continuing this item for two weeks to allow staff to amend the resolution to reflect that all claims will be presented to the Council, in closed session, prior to any action being taken by staff. It was moved by Councilmember Lindemans, seconded by Councilmember Moore to continue consideration for a period of four weeks. The motion was unanimously carried with Mayor Parks absent.
