SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Council held a public hearing on October 27, 2014 on extending the moratorium on accepting
applications for business licenses or permits for medical marijuana businesses. The State Legislature
had legislation regarding medical marijuana pending but failed to take meaningful action and there is
no assurance that the State Legislature will take meaningful action in the 2015 session. Adopting a six
months moratorium extension will allow the City time to consider its own legislation controlling the
medical marijuana businesses that wish to locate within the City.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution extending the moratorium on accepting applications for business licenses or permits
for medical marijuana businesses.

Insurance coverage and self-insured retention

Recommended Action:

Expenditure Required: $ see below Transfer Amendment: $
Amount Budgeted: $ Revenue Generated: $
Total Project Budget: $ City Share Total Project: $
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Council approval is needed to change insurance coverage limits and retention levels, as directed in Risk
Management Program Policy #300-65.
The city submitted a tentative withdrawal from the Washington Cities Insurance Authority (WCIA)
insurance pool in late 2013. In lieu of coverage being provided by WCIA, effective January 1, 2015, the
city’s property and casualty insurance claims will be self-insured and self-administered, with
commercial liability excess insurance being provided for losses in excess of the currently approved
$250,000 per occurrence retention limit.
Commercial insurance quotes obtained by the city’s Property & Casualty Insurance Broker of Record
have shown that improved property and casualty coverage can be obtained with a combined overall
annual savings of approximately $100,000. This annual savings is in excess of the estimated cost to
contract with a Liability Claims Administrator. It is also recommended that the self-insured retention
limit for property losses be increased to $100,000 per occurrence from the current $50,000 retention
level. The retention level for auto physical damage will remain at $25,000 per occurrence. The city is
already self-insured for workers’ compensation with a retention level of $500,000 per claim.
A comprehensive self-insurance program allows the city to take advantage of insurance reserve funds,
better utilize the City Attorney’s services for defense or defense referral, and secures the city’s final
authority to settle claims that were previously fully controlled by WCIA.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Risk Management recommends approval of withdrawal from WCIA; and that the city self-insures
property and casualty losses within the approved self-insured retention limits, procures proposed
excess insurance coverage, and increases the property self-insured retention level to $100,000 per
occurrence.

impacts not previously addressed in the Planned Action EIS.
SECTION III. Monitoring and Review.
