Hi mayor, council.
[5:27]
Alisa Rino, friendly resident for the record. I came to make a correction
[5:32]
on the record about the amounts of the portable restrooms
[5:37]
that I discussed last meeting.
[5:40]
Last meeting I reported that the year-to-date costs were 274,000.
[5:46]
That was incorrect.
[5:47]
The actual cost is 19,000 around there.
[5:52]
The remaining 255,000 was four solids hauling chemical sludge
[5:58]
at the water treatment plant.
[6:02]
Also, Barry has reached out to me to let me know about some changes that they are making
[6:08]
and they're being implemented and in regards to the restrooms being locked.
[6:13]
And I'm already hearing positive feedback from the residents on that.
[6:18]
That's all.
[6:22]
Mr. Williams, would you like to address that?
[6:26]
I know we don't have to, but we can't be public.
[6:29]
Very well, it's public horse director for the record, just as a note, for everyone.
[6:34]
As of this morning, I did direct staff to have the restrooms open Monday, due Friday,
[6:42]
from 7 a.m., sorry, between 7 a.m., and 3.30 p.m., so the restrooms at the parks will be open
[6:50]
Monday, due Friday, during those hours, and on the weekends during special events.
[6:57]
Thank you, Ms. Williams.
[6:59]
Any other public input at this time?
[7:11]
Tammy Dippman for the record.
[7:13]
I did get a notification that the Hydrant Reports will be available July 24th by the end of day.
[7:22]
So, I don't know how they know it so specifically, but I look forward to receiving them.
[7:28]
Thank you.
[7:37]
and there's nobody online and nobody on the phone is there.
[7:40]
Any other public comment at this time?
[7:44]
All right, saying none, we'll move on to line item four,
[7:48]
looking for approval of the agenda.
[7:51]
Councilman Mendoza.
[7:53]
I'd like to make motion to approve the agenda as presented.
[7:56]
I'll second that.
[7:58]
We have a motion by Councilman Mendoza,
[8:01]
second by Councilman Hannon, please vote.

[9:04]
We will now move on to line item 3.1 for possible action discussion to accept a new proposal
[9:15]
from Nevada Public Agency Insurance Pool and approved for payment of $475,899.68 with a deductible
[9:26]
of 2,000 per claim from fiscal year 26, 27 funds.
[9:43]
All
[9:48]
right. I was liking that.
[9:53]
Mayor, do. Is everybody still on Zoom? I am. Okay. Okay.
[10:01]
Okay.
[10:05]

[10:08]
What's that?
[10:09]
I'm going to hear.
[10:09]
I'm going to hear.
[10:10]
I'm going to hear.
[10:10]
I'm going to hear.
[10:11]
Okay.
[10:12]
Thank you.
[10:13]
Acting City Manager Lydia Ultec will present this presentation.
[10:19]
Lydia.
[10:19]
Great.
[10:20]
Yeah.
[10:20]
Good evening, Council.
[10:21]
I have Tina Peterson on the line who's going to go through the presentation.
[10:25]
Go ahead, Tina.
[10:27]
Perfect.
[10:28]
Can you guys hear me?
[10:28]
Okay.
[10:30]
Yes.
[10:32]
Okay.
[10:32]
Perfect.
[10:33]
Sorry, I can't be there in person, I'm an Elko right now.
[10:37]
So we're going to present the renewal for 26, 27.
[10:43]
I just want to highlight some of the changes this year.
[10:49]
Kim, if you could scroll down the page and sign for me.
[11:05]
This year, school actually increased some services at no additional cost to the members.
[11:14]
So, we first have the property surplus limit was increased from 300 million to 500 million.
[11:23]
This was a discussion that was made from a member of POOL. So, as you guys are members,
[11:32]
you have a voice in what your coverages are. The best part is the pool has leverage to go back
[11:39]
and get these coverages for very minimal cost to the members.
[11:45]
This item, the property and the equipment breakdown,
[11:49]
was no additional cost to the members.
[11:52]
The equipment breakdown per loss limit went from 100,000,000 to 150,000,000.
[12:01]
The cyber liability limit, 1,000,000 per member, first and third party,
[12:07]
with a $500,000 sub-limit for cybercrime. Last year, that cybercrime limit was $250,000.
[12:18]
So they doubled that again at no cost to the members.
[12:24]
So the maintenance deductible per claim right now is $2,000.
[12:31]
I do want to read the addendum like I did before for Article 22 to state
[12:38]
that a member giving 120-day notice of withdrawal weighs the two-thirds vote
[12:45]
requirement under Article 23a. Basically what this means is in the
[12:52]
interlocal agreement you have to give full 120-day exit letter prior to renewal.
[13:01]
Now if you submit that 120-day letter they do not have to offer you a renewal.
[13:09]
So, I wanted to go over some key coverage points with you guys.
[13:16]
Total program cost last year was 421,481.67.
[13:23]
This year, that cost is 475,899.68, a 12.91 percent increase.
[13:33]
And if you look at the numbers below,
[13:35]
So these are all based on exposure, not rate changes.
[13:40]
So we did see a 41.65% increase in payroll, so that is a pretty significant number.
[13:50]
Total insured value went from 80 million to 99.9 million, so another significant increase
[13:58]
of 24.8%.
[14:00]
It looks like we did get rid of a couple of vehicles that were probably not being used
[14:06]
and we took those off of the schedule and it looks like you guys have increased your
[14:14]
employees by 11 which increases total exposure 13.75%.
[14:21]
So even with the big increases, we only saw a 12.91 percent overall increase, which I
[14:32]
think is very, very reasonable.
[14:36]
A couple things that I do want to highlight is the additional services that you received
[14:41]
from pool and paths.
[14:42]
We did two assessment, cyber assessments over the past six years.
[14:53]
If you had to go out and get those cyber assessments, which basically tries to protect your nets.
[15:00]
Work from being hacked. Each of those assessments were $18,000 each. So you've had two of those. So that's an additional 36,000 that if you were with any other standard carrier, you would have had to go outside and purchase that. We also have a lot of training. So we have online training and that is for staff, HR relations. We have it for the board.
[15:29]
So ethics and government, open meeting laws, cyber trainings know before, which is the email where you click on the emails and hopefully you're detecting that those are spam emails and it's getting the employee gets sent to a training if they actually click on something that was an actual scam.
[15:57]
So instead of somebody surpassing your network and getting into your network, we send that specific employee to a training.
[16:07]
So it keeps your system more secure.
[16:12]
And with those classes,
[16:16]
we year to, or services to date, it looks like we have about 96 active users
[16:25]
and about 731 courses that have been taken.
[16:32]
And so, if you had to go out and provide those for your staff, HR trainings, what not,
[16:39]
that would have been a value of about $26,000.
[16:43]
So once again, I just wanted to highlight some of the things that you get that are extra
[16:48]
that you're not paying for being a pull pad board member.
[16:56]
Is there any questions?
[17:02]
Any questions?
[17:04]
No.
[17:06]
No.
[17:13]
Okay.
[17:13]
There's no questions.
[17:14]
I'll entertain a motion.
[17:35]
Councilman Mendoza.
[17:36]
Okay.
[17:39]
Councilwoman Zurberski.
[17:41]
Go ahead.
[17:41]
Yeah.
[17:42]
Sorry.
[17:42]
I'm just getting to the agenda item.
[17:44]
I would like to, I guess, approve the Nevada Public Agency.
[17:56]
see it pool and approve payment for $475,899.68 with a deductible of $2,000 per claim for fiscal year 2026 through 2027 funds.
[18:08]
I'll second that.
[18:13]
We have a motion by Councilwoman Zabersky, seconded by Councilman Hannan.
[18:17]
Please vote.
[18:19]
I vote yes.
[18:21]
I vote yes.
[18:27]
Councilman Mendoza was yes, so that motion carries 4-0.
[18:30]
Thank you, Madam.
[18:40]
Thank you, Chair.
[18:43]
The line item 4 items requested by the Mayor of City Council members.
[18:47]
Do we have any requests at this time?
[18:53]
All right.
[18:53]
Seeing none, we will move on to line item 5, address requests for future agenda items.
[18:59]
The Council have any future agenda items.
[19:05]
All right.
[19:06]
Seeing none, we will move on to line item 6.
