Action: City Clerk Hines read the title, and City Manager Cohen reported that we have to procure Builders Risk Insurance per the construction of the Pier, and that Bob Hollander is here from Brown & Brown if there are any questions regarding the policy itself. This is a reduction of what we were originally quoted due to the fact that we are not spanning two hurricane seasons as we were originally. Public Speakers: Bob Hollander Commissioner Aelion said that he had understood that mobilization had occurred at the Pier for a certain period and so this insurance was in place already, and City Manager Cohen said no, the mobilization was for demolition only and it is not required for that. Mayor Edelcup asked if we even need it yet as we are not ready for construction since we don't have the permit yet. Why are we buying the insurance now, the clock is starting to tick, and the money is starting to go out, and City Manager Cohen said what he would like is authorization to purchase this insurance when we want to start construction of the project. It makes no sense to purchase this today when we don't have the final permit to start. Mayor Edelcup asked if the rate goes down or does the year get extended, in other words, what are we buying? Bob Hollander said it is for 12-months, the time of the construction period is intended to be a little less than that but it is a 12-month policy, it is a full term policy, 5
