AUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTIO
MEETING DATE: November 6, 2000 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: CA 00-21
Analysis: The City Council previously authorized the City Attorney to intervene in the
PUC proceeding regarding Southern California Edison's sale of the oil storage tanks adjacent
to the AES generating station. It is necessary to retain expert witnesses in this proceeding.
While the professional services contracts are for under $20,000, and can be entered into by
the City Attorney, any insurance waiver requires City Council approval.
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the waiver of insurance requirements for
Professional, General and Workers' Compensation liability insurance for each of the two
contracts. The risk of an expert witness taking any action that could impose liability is
remote. Additionally, the Settlement committee's recommendation to accept the waivers is
attached.
