TO THE CITY COUNCIL
FROG: THE CITY MANAOER't OFFICE
DATE
August 10, 1983
SUBJECT: AMEND EXISTING RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AUTHORITY TO SETTLE LIABILITY CLAIMS TO
SPECIEI D IMITS
Council will recall that following the recent program
audit of the City of Lodi's liability program conducted by
Barbara Akk and Associates, it was agreed that it would be
appropriate for the City to engage in a claims
administrator selection process and a program has been
initiated to prepare request for proposals and the,
subsequent evaluation and rating of potential claims
administrators submitting proposals.
The requests for proposals- were mailed out August 9,
1983. It has been requested that all proposals be returned
no later than September 1, 1983 for evaluation and rating,
and it is anticipated that a recommendation will be made
to the City Council at its September 21, 1983 regular
meeting with a commencement date of service to be October
1, 1983.
The City's existing resolution extends the following
monetary authority to settle liability claims:
a) $5,000.00 blanket authority to the,
Administrative Staff and $1,000.00 to
R. L. Kau,, -.z and Company.
b) Claims in excess of $5,000.00 to be
brought to the City Council for
approval.
We have just been advised by R. L. Kautz and Company the
City's current contract administrator that they are going
out of the business in Northern California and asking
permission to assign the City's account to another firm
(George Hills and Company).
It is recommended that Council approve the assigning of
our account by R. L. Kautz and Company to George Hills and
Company for an interim period (to September 30, 1983) and
that the aforereferenced resolution be amended to
authorize the Administrative Staff the authority to settle
claims up to $5,000.00 with claims in excess of $5,000.00
being brought to the City Council for approval.
