The purpose of the special meeting was to discuss the Fire Department
and rescue (EVER) insurance coverage.
The City Clerk reviewed the present coverage under workmen's compen-
sation with Risk Management and the additional policy with Tumblin
Insurance that covers volunteer members for 100% hospitalization.
Mrs. Blazi also outlined proposed coverage from Jennings Insurance
Agency and Hartford Accident and Indemnity Company. Coverage under
both policies was compared.
/
Fire Chief Dave Severance stated some of the benefits under the
Jennings Insurance Company policy were greater than the Hartford policy
and also the present coverage with Tumblin Insurance would not be
needed since the proposed policy would cover hospitalization 100%.
Councilman Wilbur questioned appropriating funds for the payment of
the additional coverage.
Mrs. Blazi said that some of the additional money needed could
possibly be al10ted from the Federal Revenue Sharing funds already
appropriated for the Fire Department for new equipment which will not
be purchased at the present time.
Councilman Wilbur made a motion to go with the
policy and drop the Tumblin Insurance coverage
time, as recommended by Fire Chief Severance.
