In addition to the name change and the securities litigation change noted above, a few additional technical <br />changes were made. <br />• An exclusion existing in the Coverage A (Municipal Liability Coverage), for litigation by LMCIT or <br />. the city against any other covered party, was incorporated into Coverage D. <br />• Coverage D specifically covers claims that involve a challenge to the constitutionality of a city <br />ordinance, even if that challenge is in the context of an enforcement action brought by the city. A <br />clarification was made to make it clear that coverage also applies to non - constitutional challenges to the <br />city's interpretation of its ordinance or its authority to adopt the ordinance. A related clarification <br />expressly excludes coverage for criminal prosecutions brought by the city. <br />Other Coverage Changes <br />Defense Cost Reimbursement Coverage Changes (Formerly called Open Meeting Lane Defense Cost <br />Coverage) <br />This coverage, previously known as "Open Meeting Law Defense Cost Coverage," has been renamed <br />"Defense Cost Reimbursement Coverage." Coverage was expanded to provide defense cost reimbursement <br />to city officials for lawsuits against city officials that arise from the actual, pending, or threatened <br />bankruptcy of the city. A $250,000 annual aggregate limit was also added. <br />Sewer Backup Liability Incentive Program Changes <br />For coverages renewing November 15,2010 — November 14, 2011, a mandatory minimum deductible was <br />applied to all liability claims for sanitary sewer backups unless the city met specified standards for its sewer <br />operations. As a reminder, that amount has increased to $2,500 for coverages renewing November 15, 2011 <br />and after. To avoid the higher mandatory minimum deductible, cities must meet the criteria spelled out on <br />the sewer incentive questionnaire, which can be found in the Loss Control area of the Risk Management <br />section of the League website at www.imc.org. <br />If you have questions or comments, feel free to contact the LMCIT underwriting department at 651 -281- <br />1200 or 800 - 925 -1122. <br />N�_, 5 1 P a g e <br />
