non -reliability of the liability coverage the Boosters of
CC -21.1(a) Boys and Girls Sports, Inc. (BOBS) once had. The Board of
OC -40 Directors has been without insurance since Septenber 19,
1986. The members of the Executive Board are concerned
that their volunteer services have placed their personal
net worth in jeopardy.
The BOBS have requested that the City of Lodi hold that
organization harmless in its activities to a limit cf
$250,000.
Mr. Glenn reported that the Joint Powers Insurance
Authority will not share losses with BOBS as it is a
separate entity with its own elected Board of Directors.
Even if they would share these losses, the City of Lodi
would be individually liable for the first $250,000.
Addressing the Council concerning the matter was Mr. Robert
Mullen, Attorney-at-law.

Pinkerton second, Council determined that it would provide
defense costs and damages up to $250,000 per occurrence to
