(Through Lawrence C. <br />Barrett, C.L.U. DiBart Insurance Agency Corp.) Introduced by Mayor Carmen and <br />Council as a Whole. (First Reading 2/9/87.) <br />Mr. Goley, seconded by Mr. Petschauer, made a motion to suspend the rules of <br />Council requiring a resolution to be read on three separate occasions. <br />Roll Call: AYES: All <br />NAYS: None <br />Motion Carried <br />Rules Suspended <br />Mr. Goley, seconded by Mr. Petschauer, made a motion to adopt Resolution No. <br />87-16. <br />Mayor Carmen explained that there are two individuals who are attempting to <br />provide Community Mutual Insurance for employees of Mayf ield Village. The <br />proposals are identical. The only difference is the agent who will service <br />the Village employees. He said both agents have made presentations to <br />Council and he feels it is now up to Council to decide whom they wish to <br />award it to. <br />Mr. Goley explained the reasons why he hopes Council chooses Mr. Barrett <br />as the agent. Mr. Barrett supplied Council with the figures they needed to <br />know what the cost would be. When Mr. Sommer first contacted Council he <br />did not advise them that.they could cancel their current Blue Cross contract <br />in 30 days therein achieving a$15,000 savings. Mr. Sommer did not pursue <br />meeting with Council although Mr. Barrett contacted the members of Council <br />directly. Mr. Goley said that Mr. Barrett also suggested to Council some <br />other services that are available and.made them aware of First Priority <br />coverage. It is a higher level of coverage at actually less cost than the <br />Corporate I which Mr. Sommer recommended. He asked that Council consider <br />the agent who brought the most information and advised them"of the possible <br />savings. <br />Mr. Etzler said he did not believe Council talked to Mr. Sommer several months <br />ago when they.talked to Mr. Barrett. Mr. Sommer was the first agent to contact <br />Council to advise them about the potential savings by changing to,Community <br />Mutual. He thinks it is unfair to say that Mr. Sommer did not tell Council <br />they could cancel, since they didn't discuss it with him. <br />Mr. Flynn said he feels Mr. Sommer has the background and thinks he could do <br />a good job for the Village.
