ITEM TITLE Resolution/- Approving Service Agreement Between the City of
Chula Vista and R, L. Kautz & Company
SUBMITTED BY~ City Attorney
ITEM EXPLANATION
The City's limited self-insurance approach to public liability pro-
blems requires the hiring of a service bureau to process claims in
a manner similar to the way in which Workmen's Compensation claims
are processed.
In order to save the City money in the processing of claims and to
promptly settle matters, we are recommending that R. L. Kautz &
Company be given the authority to directly settle matters up to
$1000 without prior notification to the City.
We are also recommending that R. L. Kautz & Company, with the con-
currence of the City Manager and the City Attorney, be given direct
authority to settle cases between $1000 and $5000. Procedurally,
this will be accomplished by establishing a bank account funded by
the City of Chula Vista.
Various record keeping systems are currently being prepared to
allow City staff to be well apprised of the success of our new
insurance program.
