Drainage committee approves housekeeping update to list staff under liability insurance
Summary
The drainage committee voted to adopt a housekeeping revision to two ordinances to explicitly list additional city positions under the municipality's liability insurance. The committee will forward the revision to the city council; the committee's roll call was not fully captured in the transcript.
At a drainage committee meeting, members voted to adopt a housekeeping revision to two city ordinances so that liability insurance references explicitly name additional municipal positions.
The chair said the change affects "Ordinance 1-2-28" and "Ordinance 19-22" as cited in the transcript and that the city's liability insurance already covers the listed roles but the ordinances did not explicitly name them. The chair enumerated the positions to be added: director; deputy director of public works; building inspector/code administrator; deputy police chief; human resources coordinator; and community relations coordinator. "This very straightforward housekeeping," the chair said.
A committee member moved "to adopt the revised ordinance as submitted," and the motion was seconded. The transcript records affirmative votes ("Aye") and the chair said the item would be put on city council for the next step. The committee's discussion and the motion were brief; the transcript does not capture a full roll call or a complete vote tally.
Why it matters: explicitly naming covered positions removes ambiguity in how the city's liability insurance language applies to staff and makes the ordinance record match current job titles and responsibilities.
The committee did not provide financial details or an implementation timeline in the recorded discussion; the chair noted the item will go to the city council for final action.
