CS ordinance will protect
city workers against lawsuits
By Craig Renfro
Staff Writer
The College Station City Council
passed an ordinance Thursday which
will provide insurance for city offi
cials and employees to protect them
against lawsuits while performing
city policy.
The ordinance, prepared at the re
quest of city manager William Cole,
will cover city employees unless the
lawsuit stems from an illegal act, or is •
in violation of city policy, city attor
ney Cathy Locke says.
Funds for the self-insurance prog
ram will come from the city’s budget,
says Glenn Schroeder, deputy direc
tor of finance. The city’s employee
insurance coverage expired Jan. 15.
However, employees would have
been covered from the city’s budget
before this ordinance was passed,
Schroeder says.
Councilman James Bond express
ed concern that the city would be re
sponsible for covering court costs in a
long and lengthy trial.
“Suppose a city official awarded a
contract and there was some technic
al, legal loophole which says we didn’t
do it just right, and somebody sued,
then the city would be held liable,”
Bond says.
The city’s general comprehensive
liability coverage expired Jan. 1, and
the city has hired an insurance con
sultant to look at insurance coverage
possibilities, Schroeder says. The
consultant will have insurance re
commendations within two weeks, he
says.
In other action the council passed
an ordinance which will keep the
hotel-motel tax rate at six percent.
The current six percent rate would
have dropped to five percent June 30
if the council had not passed the ordi
nance. The six percent rate is esti
mated to produce $550,000 in re
venue for the fiscal year 1986-87,
Locke says.
Locke s^ys the ordinance will allow
the rate to remain at six percent for
the next two years.
Councilwoman Terri Tongco says
the rate should be reviewed each year
since budgets must be presented ev
ery year and the city needs to know
how much money from the fund can
be available for budgeting.
In other business, the council also
approved two rezoning requests.
The first request changes a section
of University Park, near the Highway
6 bypass, from townhouse-rowhouse
to administrative-professional. The
second change rezones the College
Station Business Center from gener
al-commercial to commercial-
industrial.
The Planning and Zoning Com
mittee recommended approval of
these requests at its March 19
meeting.
