TO: The Board of County Commissioners FROM: William G. Collins II - Deputy County Attorney DATE: September 8, 1999 SUBJECT: Modification to River Boat Club Dock License Insurance. Requirements In conjunction with the development of the River Boat Club, the Board of County Commissioners approved the License Agreement dated January 17, 1995 with the River Boat Club Property Owners' Association, Inc. The Agreement authorized the construction of a multi -slip common dock facility for the personal recreational use of the residents of the River Boat Club Subdivision on a canal lying south of 95th Street. The developer has turned over control of the association to the residents who have written to request a modification to the insurance requirements of the License Agreement. Paragraph 6 of the License Agreement requires the County to be named as an additional insured in the amount of $5,000,000 liability insurance. The requested modification would lower liability insurance to $1,000,000. The County Risk Manager has no objection to lowering the liability insurance coverage. This seems reasonable given the limitation on the waiver of sovereign immunity in Section 768.28, Florida Statutes. The County's liability to pay a claim or a judgment by any one person is limited to $100,000 and all other claims or judgments arising out of the same incident or occurrence are limited to $200,000. RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the Chairman to execute the attached Modification to License Agreement lowering the required liability insurance limit to $1,000,000. ON MOTION by Commissioner Ginn, SECONDED BY Commissioner Stanbridge, the Board unanimously authorized the Chairman to execute the Modification to License Agreement with River Boat Club lowering the required liability insurance limit to $1,000,000, as recommended in the Memorandum. RECORDED MODIFICATION TO LEASE AGREEMENT IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF TBE CLERK TO THE BOARD SEPTEMBER 219 1999 19
