N. Reject claims of John Gregory, No. 1190; and Mauricio Campos, No. 1191. (702-05) MINUTE ORDER NO. 93-085 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C. REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT CALENDAR BY COUNCILMAN GREENALCH FOR DISCUSSION AT THIS TIME. Recommendation to Council to approve proposed selection process for property, insurance and workers' compensation insurance including use of a consultant for technical support. (412-01) REPORT: ACTING FINANCE DIRECTOR, MAY 10, 1995 In response to Council questions, Brian Ponty, Acting Finance Director, explained the recommendation that the City assign markets when two brokers request bids from the same insurance company: Underwriters (the market) will not give a quote on a proposal to more than one broker. They will ask that the City choose one and issue a Broker of Record letter. Mr. Ponty advised that if the City did not choose which broker it wanted to represent the City it was possible that the underwriters would withdraw from the bidding. Three different brokerage houses in the City recommended that the City choose which broker it wanted to represent it, if the situation arose that two brokers were seeking bids from the same underwriter. Councilmembers discussed historic insurance practices in Redwood City and other cities of this size; liability to the City if City assigns market; advantages and disadvantages of open bidding and the competitive market place; and, although underwriters might not want to choose, and the process might get unpleasant, the best approach is to allow the underwriters (the market) to choose the brokers, not the City.
