City Insurance Costs For Public Works and Claims Actions
The city faces annual $8,604.88 premiums for insureing garbage and street dept workers and equipment valued around $433,000. Fire and machine insurance costs hover near $1,000 on assets totaling $51,420. Mayor Behrens notes the municipal fund for insurance, $57,000, will be abolished this session amid council debate. Alderman Harrison warns the move risks a false economy as Montreal’s loss from a similar fund is cited. The council also denies Jennie McCaultry a damages claim from Seaside Park.
