A00-01-037. Funding Source: General Fund, Contract Legal Services, Account #10015301.69375 Dollar amount not to exceed $20,000 for eah contract. Recommended Action: Approve a waiver of insurance for general and professional liability as recommended by the settlement committee for two professional services agreements to be entered into at a later date between the City Attorney and Gladstein & Associates and Martin Collette, dba EconOne for which City Council approval is not necessary as the agreement cost is not to exceed $20,000. Alternative Action(s): Do not approve the waiver of insurance requirements for Professional, General and Workers' Compensation liability insurance. ()V I fr1t 4kEQUEST FOR COUNCIL A• N 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.
