Richton Park forms panel on liability and insurance limits
A Richton Park subcommittee led by Village President Rudolph Banovich will review the village exposure to liability after news that insurance coverage will be obtained at lower limits than before. Trustee Frank Amnerino and several unnamed staffers will join to find risk reductions and assess possibly cutting the parks and recreation sledding hill project. Banovich warns of multi million dollar lawsuits and seeks broader volunteer firefighter defensive driving training through IRMA, the insurer for Richton Park and Park Forest among 29 member municipalities.
