SCRIBNER~ THE FOLLOWING REPORT WAS UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED: JUNE 26, 1964 To THE MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL CITY OF CHARLOTTESVILLE~ VIRGINIA GENTLEMEN: AT A RECENT MEETING OF COUNCIL YOU APPOINTED THIS COMMITTEE TO RECOMMEND A COURSE OF ACTION TO BE USED IN HANDLING THE TAKING OF BLOOD SAMPLES FROM PERSONS ACCUSED OF DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF INTOXICANTS. AFTER DILIGENT RESEARCH, YOUR COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT THE FOLLOWING PROGRAM BE ADOPTED BY THE CITY OF CHARLOTTESVILLE: (1) HAVE AT LEAST FOUR LICENSED REGISTERED NURSES AVAILABLE FOR THE TAKING OF BLOOD SAMPLE$~ ONE OF WHOM SHALL BE ON CALL AT ALL TIRES. THE NURSE SHALL RECEIVE ~0.00 FOR EACH SAMPLE SHE TAKES. (2) HAVE SUCH SAMPLES TAKEN AT THE CITY POLICE STATION. (3) HAVE THE CiTY PURCHASE THE NECESSARY SUPPLIES FOR STERILIZATION OF THE EQUIPMENT USED TO TAKE THE BLOOD SAMPLES AND FOR THE HANDLING OF THE BLOOD SAMPLES. (4) HAVE THE CITY TAKE OUT BODILY INJURY LIABILITY INSURANCE WITH THE CANADIAN UNIVERSAL INSURANCE COMPANY~ LTD. WITH SERVICE OF SUIT CLAUSE NAMING MENDES & MOUNT OF NEW YORK CITY UPON WHOM PROCESS CAN BE SERVED. THE COUNTY OF ALBEMARLE HAS AGR~EDTO SHARE THE COSTS OF THIS PROGRAM EQUALLY WITH THE CITY IN RETURN'FOR BEING ABLE TO USE THE NURSES AND FACILITIES FOR BLOOD SAMPLES OF PERSONS ARRESTED IN THE COUNTY. ALTHOUGH THE INSURANCE COMPANY IS NOT LICENSED TO DO BUSINESS IN THE STATE OF VIRGINIA IT IS A WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF AMERICAN UNIVERSAL INSURANCE COMPANY WHICH 'IS LICENSED IN THIS STATE AND HAS BESTtS HIGHEST RATING OF EXCELLENT AND THE FINANCIAL RATING OF BBBB+. BECAUSE ~F VIRGINIA INSURANCE, RATE RESTRICTIONS NO COMPANY AUTHORIZED TO DO BUSINESS IN THE STATE OF VIRGINIA WAS ROUND WHICH WOULD UNDER- WRITE THIS COVERAGE. THE ANNUAL MINIMUM PREMIUM WILL BE APPROXIMATELY ~400. MR. CAMBLOS ESTIMATES THIS MINIMUM PREMIUM WILL'NOT BE EXCEEDED IN A NORMAL YEAR. THE ONLY LEGAL QUESTION INVOLVED WITH THIS COMPANY WRIT'~NG THE COVERAGE IS THAT IF THERE WAS A CLAIM WHICH THEY REFUSED TO PAY THE CITY WOULD HAVE TO MAKE ITS CLAIM AGAINST THE COMPANY IN NEw YORK CITY. BASED ON BEST~S RATING OF THE COMPANY AND ITS PARENT COMPANY~ THIS WOULD SEEM TO BE AN UNLIKELY PROBLEM. MR. CAMBLO$ AND MR. DOWNING SMITH FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT IT IS ONLY BY THE USE OF THIS PROGRAM AS OUTLINED ABOVE THAT EITHER THE CITY OR COUNTY MAY OBTAIN VALID BLOOD SAMPLES PURSUANT TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF STATE LAW · RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED, PAUL D.
