S-.00rlward Ifamoton City .'anager r City of Dania 100 Nest Dania Beach Blvd. Dania, Florida 33004 Re: Policy No. L428 30 07 Dear Mr. Hampton: . in a recent telephone conversation we discussed the possibility of the City granting permission to property owners to place various styles of concrete objects on the edges of swales extending from their sidewalk to the street and the affect this may have upon the City' s Liability Insurance. ® The Liability Coverage in force does protect the City against claims involving a condition in the premises of the City which would include the sidewalks and swales and although there is no restriction in the policy, it is conceivable that these concrete items could create an additional hazard and, therefore, wo feel that it should be held under some form of control and ® suggest that the City require. a Permit prior to allowing anyone -- — to place any obstructions on the City Properth: It may be further advisable to also specify that the property owner assume liability and hold the City harmless against claims up to a designated amount. Since most Homeowner' s Policies are written at a minimum of $25,000 Liability, this may be an adequate figure to consider. The Homeowner' s Policy automatically extends to cover any contractual obligation assumed in connection wi+-h +-ho nromicas of the named insured. we trust this will satisfactorily if you need any additional informa lot me know. Very truly yours(, .� John C. Griesemer^ Vice President J�:<. �f�•- e,✓_ is /,<z �:u-Z i Worldwide Services in 16 Nations Thy
