Mayor Pro-Tempore Gerald Farr called the meeting to order at 5:00 p.m. Mr. Coddington moved the Council adjourn into Executive Session pursuant to Article 6252-17, §2 (e), V.A.C.S., to seek the City Attorney's advice with respect to matters where the duties of the City Attorney to the City pursuant to the Code of Professional Responsibility of the State Bar of Texas clearly conflicts with Article 6252-17. Ms. Kissler seconded the motion, which passed unanimously (5:03 p.m.). Mr. Brown moved to convene temporarily at 5:19 p.m. and Mr. Coddington seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. Mr. Farr introduced for consideration approval of insurance coverages for the City. Mr. Herrerra advised the Council most of the City's coverages expired April 1st and that Bill Taylor Insurance and Texas Municipal League had gathered quotes for the City, but that Bill Taylor had been successful in finding coverage for all the policies needed by the City. Mr. Taylor then reviewed with the Council the various cover- ages, companies and quotations he had gathered on the City's behalf. Francis Fey of the Texas Municipal League then verbally reviewed with the Council the coverages he was able to gather information on. TML's workmen's compensation policy provides a 25% discount up front plus a dividend based on the City's losses. After much discussion with Messrs. Taylor and Fey City Manager Gonzalez recommended to the Council it would be advantageous for the City of have TML provide the City's workmen's compensation coverage and Mr. Taylor to provide all the other insurance coverages and City Attorney Hankins recommended the Council in approv- ing the coverages with Mr. Taylor make the motion contingent on the ex- clusions of Marinco's Public Official Liability Policy that it be at least as extensive as the policy in force now; and that if it is not, the Council meet again to consider approval of Public Official Liability with another company. Ms. Kissler moved to approve Texas Municipal League to provide the City's workmen's compensation coverage and Mr. Bill Taylor to provide all other coverages, contingent on the exclusions of Marinco's Public Official Liability Policy (as set out by Mr. Hankins) and that the City Council hold a Workshop in ten months to review the City's insurance coverages, and Mr. Coddington seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. * Mayor Craddock and Messrs. Guerra and Moore were not present at this meeting.
