ACTION ITEMS
11-05-01 Authorization for the City to support the shipment of Aid and Relief for the
benefit of orphans in the Aomori Prefecture, whose parents perished in the
tsunami.
Presented by Steven C. Lacy, Mayor. He stated that the City Attorney has
researched the issue and has spoken with Municipal Research and Services
Center regarding the potential liability and potential cost to the City. The City
was advised that with the indemnification in place there would be no potential or
significant liability to the City and this would be done at no cost. He added, the
reason for our involvement is that in order for them to ship the supplies, the
regulations require a municipal party to act as the shipper, and because of our
relationship to the Aomori prefecture we were asked to serve in that capacity.
Council Action: A motion was made by Councilmember Raab, second by
Councilmember Bremmer, to authorize the City to support the shipment of Aid
and Relief for the benefit of orphans in the Aomori Prefecture, whose parents
perished in the tsunami and authorize the Mayor to sign the shippers letter of
instruction. The motion carried, 4-0.
