ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER WODTKE, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER <br />LYONS, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY EXTENDED THE TIMEFRAME FOR PRESENTATION <br />OF A PERFORMANCE BOND BY COMPASS BUILDING SYSTEMS UNTIL OCTOBER 7, <br />1980. <br />ATTORNEY DISCUSSES EXCESS LIABILITY ON PERSONAL INJURY CASES <br />ATTORNEY COLLINS INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THE LIABILITY <br />INSURANCE WE CARRY FOR THE COUNTY HAS LIMITS ON IT, AND AN INSURANCE <br />COMPANY, IN ORDER TO DIVEST ITSELF OF RESPONSIBILITY BEYOND THOSE <br />LIMITS, IS REQUIRED TO NOTIFY A CUSTOMER THAT THE CASE THEY ARE <br />INVOLVED IN MAY EXCEED THOSE LIMITS AND GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY <br />TO HIRE THEIR OWN COUNSEL TO REPRESENT THE COUNTY'S INTERESTS <br />OVER AND ABOVE THE COVERAGE. ATTORNEY COLLINS FELT WE HAVE HAD ONE <br />OTHER INSTANCE OF THIS IN THE PAST. HE CONTINUED THAT WE HAVE RE- <br />CEIVED SUCH LETTERS FROM OUR INSURANCE CARRIER IN REGARD TO CLAIMANTS <br />FRANKIE SMITH AND MARCELLA SPIVEY, AND THESE LETTERS SHOULD RECEIVE <br />ATTENTION BECAUSE THEY ARE CRITICAL. THE ATTORNEY FELT THAT THE <br />BOARD WOULD WANT TO ASK THEIR ATTORNEYS TO REVIEW EACH ONE OF <br />THESE CASES AS THEY ARISE AND COME BACK WITH A RECOMMENDATION AS <br />TO WHETHER OR NOT THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF EXPOSURE BEYOND THE <br />LIMITS OF THE COVERAGE AND WHETHER OR NOT THE COUNTY'S LAW FIRM <br />SHOULD BECOME INVOLVED IN THE LITIGATION. <br />ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER LYONS, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER <br />WODTKE, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY GAVE THE ATTORNEY BLANKET AUTHORITY <br />TO REVIEW SUCH CASES OF EXCESS LIABILITY AS THEY ARISE AND DETERMINE <br />WHETHER THE COUNTY SHOULD BECOME INVOLVED IN THE LITIGATION. <br />RESOLUTIONS 80-96 AND 80-97 ACCEPTING RESIGNATION OF RICHARD BIRD <br />FROM THE PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION AND APPOINTING JOHN TIPPIN <br />COMMISSIONER WODTKE REMINDED THE BOARD THAT WE HAD A <br />RESIGNATION SOMETIME AGO FROM DICK BIRD, AND HE LATER REQUESTED <br />THAT HIS RESIGNATION BE EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY. WE NOW HAVE A <br />RECOMMENDATION FOR A REPLACEMENT. COMMISSIONER WODTKE REVIEWED <br />THE RESUME OF JOHN TIPPIN AND FELT HE WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT MEMBER <br />TO HAVE ON THE PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION BECAUSE OF HIS QUALIFI- <br />CATIONS. <br />109 <br />SEP 2 41980 <br />Boa 44 FhGGE 6�9 <br />I <br />
