City moves to secure new insurance contract emergency
Norwalk City Council passed an emergency ordinance empowering Mayor Wayne Goodsite to pursue a new city insurance contract after Westfield Insurance declined renewal. The current policy expired July 31, extended to August 31, with no bids received. Finance Director Vernis George notes rising liability costs as cities face more lawsuits. The mayor will review options with the finance committee before finalizing a deal, bypassing council approval due to the emergency measure. A used bicycle theft was reported at 3 p.m. Tuesday. The bike, owned by eight year old Jackie Brutsche, was valued at 90 dollars.
