DISCUSSION Attached is the "LMCIT Liability Coverage — Waiver Form" provided by the LMCIT, which provides a description of the options available to the City of Andover EDA. Currently the City of Andover EDA DOES NOT WAIVE the monetary limits on municipal tort liability established by Minnesota Statutes 466.04. I am recommending continuing with the past practice. BUDGETIMPACT No budget impact if the EDA does not waive limits. ACTION REQUESTED The City of Andover EDA is requested to not waive the monetary limits on tort liability established by Minnesota Statutes 466.04. loll � L E [MINEAGUENESOTA CITIES CONNECTING & INNOVATING SINCE 1913 LIABILITY COVERAGE - WAIVER FORM LMCIT members purchasing coverage must complete and return this form to LMCIT before the effective date of the coverage. Please return the completed form to your underwriter or email to pstech@lmc.org This decision must be made by the member's governing body every year. You may also wish to discuss these issues with your attorney. League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT) members that obtain liability coverage from LMCIT must decide whether to waive the statutory tort liability limits to the extent of the coverage purchased. The decision has the following effects: If the member does not waive the statutory tort limits, an individual claimant would be able to recover no more than $500,000 on any claim to which the statutory tort limits apply. The total all claimants would be able to recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply would be limited to $1,500,000. These statutory tort limits apply regardless of whether the city purchases the optional excess liability coverage. If the member waives the statutory tort limits and does not purchase excess liability coverage, a single claimant could potentially recover up to $2,000,000 for a single occurrence. (Under this option, the tort cap liability limits are waived to the extent of the member's liability coverage limits, and the LMCIT per occurrence limit is $2 million.) The total all claimants would be able to recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply would also be limited to $2,000,000, regardless of the number of claimants. 0 If the member waives the statutory tort limits and purchases excess liability coverage, a single claimant could potentially recover an amount up to the limit of the coverage purchased. The total all claimants would be able to recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply would also be limited to the amount of coverage purchased, regardless of the number of claimants. Claims to which the statutory municipal tort limits do not apply are not affected by this decision.
