<br />RESOLUTION NO. 2, 1977
<br />WHEREAS, the Board of Public Works of the City of South Bend, Indiana did on the 5th and 12th

<br />s/ Robert C. Niezgodski
<br />Secretary
<br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of South Bend, Indiana that the foregoing
<br />resolution of the Park Board be, and is, hereby approved by the Common Council.
<br />/s/ Mary Christine Adams
<br />A public hearing was held at this time on the resolution. Mr. Peter Mullen, City Controller, in-
<br />dicated the acceptance of this resolution is contingent upon additional funding for the premium.
<br />He said if the Council approved this resolution, the Administration, at a later date, will file
<br />an additional funding appropriation for the premium needed. He said the premium difference would
<br />indicate an approximate amount of $393,000, based upon Aetna's proposal. He said the approximate
<br />amount that will be needed from the General Fund will be $189,000, with the remainder from the
<br />utilities and the Park Department. He said this new policy will give the City about ten times
<br />more coverage in certain-areas than we have had in the past. He said they had contacted eleven
<br />insurance agents for bids and only eight responded. Only four submitted bids and only one of the
<br />four bid on the package. He indicated the cost had gone up considerably. Council Member Kopczyns
<br />asked where the greatest lack of coverage was last year. Mr. Mullen indicated it was in the City'
<br />liability insurance. He said with the new package the City will have six million vs. one -half
<br />million. Council Member Kopczynski questioned the amount of deductible on liability and collision
<br />Mr. Mullen indicated there was $250 deductible on collision and no deductible on liability. Mr'.
<br />Ralph Muszynski, an insurance agent, indicated the $250 deductible applied to the automobile cover
<br />He said in 1976 they eliminated the deductible under bodily injury, which resulted in approximatel
<br />$13,000 additional premium. Council Member Kopczynski indicated he would like a report in writing
<br />as to how many vehicle accidents we had in 1976. Mr. Mullen indicated there were approximately
<br />thirty -five accidents. Council Member Kopczynski asked how this compared to industry. Mr. Muszyn
<br />indicated it would be very difficult to compare a municipality to industry. Council President Par
<br />indicated that perhaps they could get information on another city fleet, such as Fort Wayne. Mr.
<br />Muszynski indicated that the information regarding the accidents reported in 1976 was available in
<br />the Law Library.
