Resolution rej Regarding <br />appgal from the Board of <br />Arcmitectural Review - <br />Property at 6D9 E. High <br />Street <br /> <br /> that this type of coverage be purchased. Mr. Albro asked <br /> if any efforts are being made by the Municipal League to <br /> set up some kind of Mutual Insurance Program for cities <br /> such as many professions are doing. Mr. Wiley stated that <br /> the Municipal League is investigating such a possibility, <br /> but there might be the need for some legislation to permit <br /> this. Mr. Albro stated that he would like some report on <br /> this activity if the League follows through on it. He <br /> stated he thinks the idea of Umbrella Coverage is a very <br /> sound one and he thinks it should be purchased, but he <br /> does not think we need more than the one million dollar <br /> coverage. Mr. Buck asked if the policy would cover <br /> claims arising during the term of the policy or just <br /> claims made during the term of the policy. He asked <br /> that this matter be investigated and Council be given a <br /> report. On motion by Mr. Gatewood, seconded by Mr. <br /> <br /> Albro the following resolution, was unanimously adopted. <br /> <br /> BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of <br /> Charlottesville~ that the City Manager and Director of <br /> Finance are hereby authorized to accept the quotation <br /> from Cincinnati Insurance Company for umbrella liability <br /> coverage in the amount of one million dollars, and be <br /> it further ' <br /> <br /> RESOLVED that the City Manager and Director <br /> of Finance are further authorized to increase the city's <br /> underlying comprehensive generalliability coverage from <br /> $300,000 to $500,000. Premiums for such new and <br /> increased coverages shall be paid from sums previously <br /> appropriated to the Risk Management Fund, as provided <br /> by §2-123 of the City Code. <br /> <br /> Mr. Robert M. Byrom~ owner of the property at <br /> <br />609 East High Street presented an appeal from the decision <br />of the Board of Architectural Review denying his request <br />to replace the wood porch deck of this property with brick. <br />The minutes of the meeting of the Board of Architectural <br />Review at which the request was denied were read for <br />Council's information. Mr. Byrom then addressed the <br />Council in support of his petition. Mrs. Ashlin Smith <br />and Mr. John Farmer addressed the Council in support of <br />the Board's decision. Mr. Farmer stated that the Board <br />felt that the porch was an original part of the house <br />and should be replaced with wood. He stated that it had <br />been suggested to Mr. Byrom that the porch floor could be <br />finished in wood without having to tear out any of the <br />new construction that is now in place. It was suggested <br />that he pour the concrete slab as planned and place <br />pressure treated wood sleepers on the slab, then the <br />wood floor boards could be attached to the sleepers and <br />a wood skirt board could cover the edge of the slab. Mr. <br />Byrom was asked what was his reaction to this suggestion <br />and he stated that he didn't think it was a proper way <br />to repair the porch. Mr. Albro stated that he feels that <br />the wood porch is the original style of this building and <br /> <br />45'3 <br /> <br /> <br />
