MINUTES
Morgan Select Board Meeting
Held on November 28, 2011 @ 7:00 PM
Minutes to meeting of November 15th 2011 to review and approve.
Minutes reviewed. Motion made and seconded to approve.
Pam Fecteau from the League of Cities and Towns will present the renewal
Property and Casualty, Liability and workmen’s comp. Insurance.
Pam presented the renewal quotes for 2012. She gave us comparables to the
property values they had on the buildings apposed to the property values we
have in our grand list. By doing this our yearly/quarterly bill lowered by
almost $1800.00. The Board agreed that the new property values were much
better. The estimated contribution credit will be around $1800.00. This
combined with the lower premium charge should decrease our costs by
approximately $3,600.00.
Pam was here because the Select Board felt the property values that the VLCT
were using for property and casualty were to high and that we were going out
to bid with another company. The League put together some new figures to
present to us in hopes to keep us. Pam also gave us some things to look for
when the other company presents their quotes.
The Other company will be at the December 12th 2011 meeting to present their
quote. A decision will be made before the end of 2011 year.
