Mr. Jurgens stated that Council had a mem:> in front of them from the Director of Finance 8\llllllrizing the bids by the three coopanies bidding. He stated that the present in- surance expires January l, 1973, that specs had been written sane llDlths ago, and three bids were received Deceni>er 14, 1972. He stated that altQough only three bids had been received, that this was not alxlormal in the current market place. He felt that the bids were fair and that the bidders were DBking cooparable bids as he had seen with other cities in the area. The lifting of the Colorado inmmity al cities on July 1st had had a significant influence on this bid, causing the praniun to be uuch higher. He felt the Council should give strong ccnsideration to the $5,000,000 limit as opposed to the current $2,000,000 liability due to the rather snall increase in price by the low bidder. He also stated that court judgements are getting higher and higher and although the Colorado inmmity act had dollar limitations inposed on it, that had not yet been tested in court and was questionable in his eyes. Al though the premiun price was approximately 50'7o higher than this year, he noted that the City's building value was nuch greater than three years ago, in addition to the goveirmental imrunity act considerations. Colalcilman rhority inquired as to who Standart and Main, as referenced in the llk5ID , was. Mr. Jurgens replied that Standart and Main was the insurance agency in Denver with a local resident by the nane of Russ \bods. City Manager Dial requested that Mr. Jurgens outline the details of 'WOO could bid the package. Mr. Jurgens stated that Otubb/Pacific and Gulf Insurance Conpany were the two usual bidders for other cities in the area. These two conpanies are the leaders in the goveumental liability field. Comnercial Unioo also bid on our package and is the low bidder in this case, since they are apparently eager to keep our business as they have had the last three years. Councilman Brawn inquired as to why such a high bid came in conpared to this year's premilJD. Mr. Jurgens replied that the premiun for 1972 was tied to a bid three years ago and that since that time City buildings were ruch Dm'e proliferous in nunber, as well as autarobiles. Councilman SctMab inquired as to what negotiations had been made with the bid- ders. Mr. Jurgens replied that none of the bidders had met specifications in total at the bid opening date, and as a consequence we had asked all three coopanies to get back to us with bids to bring then into line with the specifications required. 537 538 -3- Councilman Scbo1ab stated that a negotiated bid is an extremely tmfair basis and that all three bids stntl.d be thrown out. Mr. Jurgens replied that, although he agreed in coocept, the time was very limited in this case. Councilman Dhority stated that the lowest bid was in excess of the budget. Councilwoman Henning inquired whether there were other entities going to the $5,000,000 liability limit. Mr. Jurgens replied in the affinnative, stating that the City of Englewood had Sall? rather great exposures, especially with the bus system. He stated that the $5 ,000 ,000 excess liability is probably the low limit for IIDSt cities in C.alifomia of our size. Councilman lllority inquired whether this was a three-year contract. Mr. Jurgens replied in the affirnBtive, stating that coopani.es are DUCh nme willing to bid if they koow that they have the business tied up for three years. City Manager Dial stated that there 'WOul.d be a resolution at the beginning of next year to appropriate fWlds for insurance coverage. Mr. Jurgens stated that it was possible to re-bid the package next year. CouncilwonBn Henning inquired as to why bids had been restricted to a local basis. City Manager Di.al stated that it had been dcne at City Council's pleasure five years ago. Mr. Jurgens stated that the bid was a good price in todays market. ux.H;~ HEltiil«1 MJVED AND ~(;II.MAN BlOti SECXHlED A KJI'IW TO ACCEPT 'IHE BID BY UM£RCIAL llUOO FOR A PAO<AGE INSURANra POUCY WI'DI 'IHE $5 ,000 ,000 EXCESS UABILI'IY OPrIOO, WI'DI 'IHE POOSIBIU'IY OF RE-BIDDIN:; 'IHE PAC<AGE IN 1973.

Councilwoman Henning stated that the Council schedule a study session on priorities of the recaunendaticns in the Revenue Sharing area. Councilman Scl"&Jab indicated that he objected to the purchase of land along the Platte River without the agreenent of Sheridan to help develop any project thereof. He also could not see the need for any $80,000 revolving fund for housing at this time. Mayor Senti suggested a meeting on the 8th of January to discuss these reconr mendaticns. Counci1man Brown stated that the comni.ttee al housing thought that their hands were tied until m:ney was made available for their purposes. * * * * * Council received a nemrand.ln from the Cllairman of the Water and Sewer Board reo •me ding a 10% increase in water flat rates and no change in the water metered rates. Councilman Ihority stated that the Water and Sewer Board had a lively discussion on this matter and that the 10'7. increase in flat rate developnent had prevailed. Council.mm Blessing stated that the action seems to take punitive measures against the flat rate custaners. Mr. lsE!lberg fran the audience stated that he, for ooe, did not have enough pressure to flush the sanitary facilities within his bane. Mr. Garroll, Director of Utilities replied that his department ~d be glad to make a pressure check en the taps of Mr. lsmberg' s hem.!. Hr. Ismberg also noted that there was water in the street, north of Harrpden which ran off very slowly. City Manager Dial stated that the Council recently approved a $1,000 ,000 storm drainage constructioo project will.ch should help in that area. Mr. Carroll replied that a 107. increase in flat rate and a 0% increase in meter- ed rates ~d produce the sane anoont of total revenue as anticipated at the previous council meeting fran a 7% rate increase en both flat and meters. At the present time meters are paying mre al the average for water than flat rate customers and are using approximately cne-half of the a:DJUnt of water. Mayor Senti stated that the average meter user is still paying even 100re al the average with the increase than the flat rate users. Counci1man rhority stated that to stop waste of water, the city would have to sane day in the future go al a metered basis. Metered customers were already paying 100re per bill and using ally half as nuch water. 'lhe City cannot afford to have low prices for water and sewer utility D11Ch longer. City Manager Dial re-aq>hasized that the flat rate customers will still pay 10% less than meters even with the increase, which is being proposed. Councibunan Henning inquired whether the Water and Sewer Board had discussed eliminating the cheaper rate water at higher quantities. Director of Utilities Carroll replied that they had not, but that a study was being dcne in the area. Council.mm Scl&1ab stated that the City was coming to the limits of the water treatment facilities and that they were trying to build up sane available funds for future expalSioo. <Duncilnlln rhority stated that the previous resoluticn was 7% on both flat and metered usage and that the IOOre he studied the problem, the 100re he realized the inequities involved.

Council'WOllml Heming inquired of the Assistant City Attorney whether the permits which had been issued were recallable. Assistant City Attorney Lee stated that the permits which have been issued are backed up by a vested interest of m:ney and effort. The issue, as h e understood it, is whether the \b:>le area is a unit, or whether the individual phases of the construction were the unit. Councilwanan Henning inquired whether the City Council wuld be acceptable to d e lay the issuance of further permits until January 1st. Councilman Brown stated that a meet- ing was set up between Planning and Zoning and Larwill on Decenber 28th, and it wuld be very h e lpful for the Council to adopt Judy's thoughts on this subject.

Councilman Brown stated that Plamri.ng and Zoning Conmi.ssi.al felt that they had authority to grant or deny a subdivision waiver and were wrking on the premise.
