Council formalizes insurance change, hears about Lines Park damage and schedules closed session on opioid litigation
Summary
Council members formalized a 125 insurance plan that staff said had already been implemented; staff also described a large tree that fell on the Lines Park concession stand and said they will meet an insurance adjuster next week, and the council scheduled a special closed-session meeting to discuss opioid litigation on the 26th.
Speaker 2, an unidentified speaker, told the council that the item to formalize the city's new 125 insurance plan was largely procedural and that the plan had been adopted to formalize changes already made to employee benefits.
On Lines Park, Speaker 1 described a large tree falling on the concession stand; staff removed valuables and plan to meet an insurance adjuster next Wednesday to assess damage. Speaker 1 said removal of the fallen tree is expected to cost about $4,000 and that further demolition and reconstruction costs will depend on the adjuster’s payout.
Speaker 2 reminded council members that a special council meeting is scheduled for Tuesday the 26th as a closed session to discuss opioid litigation with the attorneys; the attorneys will meet with a Cumberland delegation earlier in the day and the council’s session is tentatively set for 6 p.m. while formal confirmation from counsel was still pending.
No public vote record was supplied in the transcript beyond the staff statement that the 125 plan had been adopted; no details on attorney advice or litigation strategy were discussed in open session.
