OTHER MATTERS - CITY COUNCIL ADJOURNMENT January 11, 1985 Honorable Mayor and Members City Council Meeting of the City Council of January 22, 1985 AGREEMENT FOR MAINTENANCE OF LAWNBOWLING GREENS Recommendation It is recommended that City Council approve the Agreement between the City and the Lawnbowling Club. Background The Lawnbowling Club entered into an agreement with the City in 1966, which continued annually thereafter, and specified an ap- propriation of $100 per month. That amount was reduced to $75 per month following the passage of Prop. 13. Analysis At the tomer City Attorney's suggestion, Staff investigated the feasibility of obtaining worker's compensation insurance for the Lawnbowling Club. However, after many inquiries, the City's In- surance Broker has reported that coverage cannot be obtained for the Club due to the age of the members. The City's Worker's Compensation Insurance would prevail should any claims be filed against the City by this organization. Therefore, staff is recommending an agreement in which the City will pay to the Club $75 per month, the same amount as last year. Concur: 1 Respectfully Submitted, C. , Alana M.
