TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager to purchase "all risk" property insurance for City buildings and contents through the Driver-Alliant Insurance Services, for a total premium of $528,851 for the period from July 1, 2005 through July 1, 2006; and authorize City Manager to pay additional premiums to Driver-Alliant Insurance Services, equal to the proposed "all risk" premium rate of $.0389 per $100 applied to the value of any new buildings purchased or constructed by the City or the increased value of any buildings reappraised during the term of this insurance policy.

purchase amount associated with this property.
Additional premiums at a rate of $.0389 per $100 replacement value would be applied to
