Legal counsel recommends $1 million minimum liability for dock insurance; Council to collect resident policy details
Summary
Legal counsel advised Briarcliffe Acres Council to require a $1,000,000 minimum liability limit for dock insurance and Councilwoman Jennifer Kuperman urged direct outreach to residents to collect existing policy information for compliance review.
Legal counsel advised the Briarcliffe Acres Town Council that dock insurance coverage requirements should include a minimum liability limit of $1,000,000. The recommendation was presented during Old Business as Council reviewed insurance and risk management for town docks.
Councilwoman Jennifer Kuperman said staff should communicate directly with dock residents to gather information about current policies so the town can evaluate compliance and any gaps. Council did not adopt an ordinance or set a deadline at the workshop; the discussion was framed as advisory and preparatory for future ordinance review and potential policy changes.
No formal motion was made during the workshop; Councilmembers asked staff to pursue resident outreach and to include the insurance discussion in the pending Ordinance Review project.
