AGENDA STATEMENT
CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: August 11, 1986
SUBJECT Insurance Agreement for Alameda County Contract
Services
EXHIBITS ATTACHED Proposed Agreement
RECOMMENDATION Authorize the Mayor to execute the agreement
FINANCIAL STATEMENT: Estimated costs have been included in the 1986-87
Budget . Annual cost estimated at $7, 004 .
DESCRIPTION The City of Dublin currently contracts with Alameda
County for several services . Each agreement contains reciprical hold
harmless clauses in which each party holds the other .harmless for the
negligent acts of their respective employees .
In 1982, the County raised initial concerns regarding the exposure which
contract services created for its self-insured liability insurance program.
For the past four years, it was cost effective for the City to name the
County as an additional insured. In turn, the County paid its share of the
insurance premium. Since March 1, 1986, the traditional . insurance market
has been unavailable to the City. The City became a member of .the ABAG PLAN
effective June 1, 1986 . This program is a pooled risk-sharing liability
insurance program involving several public agencies .
The proposed agreement would clearly identify the relationship between the
City and the County in the case of any claims involving contract services .
The City would be treated as a County Department for the purpose of
apportioning its pro-rata share of insurance costs . Because the County
maintains all responsibility for training, supervision and risk management
practices, it is appropriate for them to also handle claims related to their
services . The annual cost for 1986-87 is estimated to be $7, 004 .
Staff would recommend that the City Council authorize the Mayor to execute
the agreement on behalf of the City of Dublin.
