ATC insurance policy [Kat]
State Farm would take ATC's policy, except for existing claims
if not for claims, policy can be underwritten for $600 (currently $1800)/year
claims remain on record for two more years
there are currently two claims in two years; three claims in three years is threshold for cancellation of coverage
increase deductible to get savings; consider $2,500-$5,000
current insured amount is $60K; important to keep updated, in light of additional equipment
most claims related to storage locker would be smoke and water damage
think about threshold below which we're willing to take loss
one claim was medical [Kim]
other claim was damage, as determined by Hotel head and Chair at the time; would've preferred to pay out of pocket [Kim]
would rather not pay any more damage claims [Kim]
question: whose decision is it whether to submit claims? [Troy]
since insurance is in ATC's name, should be a board decision [Jayson]
â–º motion to make all insurance claims a board matter [Lauren, Troy]
vote passes with no objections
question: should we change deductible on current policy? [Sari]
since lockers are insured for different amounts, may depend on claims person's interpretation
