The bid opening was held for the property insurance. There were 2 bids received: 'en Jarcho $23,900 American Family $37,411 Ken Jarcho is our existing agent, but Midwest Family Mutual is our current company. The board decided to have Mark Jurchen our agent of record with Midwest so he could pull our renewal and get the new rates (with our changes). Open Forum Larry Parker from Parkview ONE asked about the insurance requirement for Deb Schmidt. Deb Schmidt was not at the meeting. It was explained by Chairman Peterson that during a review of our insurance policies it was brought to the boards attention that there exists a potential liability for the HRA if our contractors are not carrying insurance. The Independent Contractors Policy was passed at the September, 2009 meeting to address this risk. Chairman Peterson also re- iterated that this policy was being enforced on all contractors without exception. Director O'Brien asked the board to extend the deadline for Deb Schmidt to comply with the Insurance requirement until January 31, 2010 in order to give staff time to review the rate increase that was proposed, and draft the appropriate contracts.

She asked how this could be handled anonymously. Director O'Brien informed her that anyone could send a note to the office if they wished to remain anonymous and the office could follow on any information that was provided. The Director also stated that there are several systems in place to double check the information that people provide on their re- certification paperwork, but that things can be missed. Deb Botham (Sibley Terrace Resident) asked why she was not allowed to have a `yard sale' by the previous management when she first moved in, but there is a resident being allowed to run a business out of their apartment. She did not provide any specific information about the resident whom she believed was running a business out of their apartment. She asked about what the requirements were for home businesses. Director O'Brien will bring information on this to the January meeting. Mayor Adams informed everyone that there was a new business in town serving a Hawaiian/Tuscany breakfast and lunch.
