Chairman Garrett referred to Item #3 an the Agenda: (A.Ii.A. Tr7illiams: To. review with the Board coverage of a proposed comprehensive liability policy). A.H.A. Tnlilliams of Collier Cobb and Associates filed the following letter with the Board. "We are glad to offer you Public Official Liability Policy which - will indemnify you individually or collectively, for any claim or claims made against you for a wrongful act. The policy also extends _ itself to cover your executors, administrators ,. or assigns for which you shall become legally obligated to pay'. The policy also covers the Board (a public entity) for any wrongful act for which the Board may be required or permitted by law, to indemnify you. Lass is defined as meaning any amount which you are legally obligated to pay for a claim or claims made against you for a wrongful act, and shall include but not be limited to damages, cost of investigation, and defense of legal actions, claims or proceedings and appeals there- from, premiums on bonds to release attachments; however, such sub- ject of loss shall not include fines and penalties imposed by law. This is a 'claims made' type of insurance policy, and will respond to any claim made during the policy year. At the expiration of the policy year (or term), the succeeding policy would be the instrument which would respond to a claim. In the event that a Public Official Liability Policy was not in force at the time of the claim, no insur- ance would exist. The policy does not cover bodily injury, or damage, or destruction of any tangible property; personal injury (false arrest, libel, slander, defamation of character, invasion of privacy, wrongful eviction, assault, or battery); continuous discharge or release of pollutance, but this exclusion does not apply to such discharge if the escape is sudden and accidental. Based upon the application submitted and for limits of $250,000. any one occurrence, and $1,000,000. aggregate applying to each policy year, and to include a self-insured retention (deductible) of $2,500. per occurrence, th'e three year premium paid in advance is $11,875. A three year policy may be paid annually at a premium of $4,354. per year. ;de 'will be glad to put this insurance in force for you immediately upon your firm order, and eve'respectively solicit such an order."
