Thanks, Betty. I had a chance to speak with Bob about this briefly this
morning, and I think we both generally agreed with your assessment and
believe it is an issue that needs to be highlighted for Council. Having
said that, my only concern is that it isn't possible for a group like
this to purchase insurance. Are you saying that we might have the OCIP
worked out by next week so that they could purchase insurance through
us?

I visited the site of occupy Asheville. As with other organized groups
that hold activities on our property I recommend that this group
purchase liability insurance and name the City additionally insured.
I am concerned about the vehicle exposures that are created with tents
and signs not being secured properly and that this appears to create an
attractive nuisance increasing liability for the City of Asheville and
the citizens of Asheville. Also, as far as the site is concerned, is
the site owned by the City or the State. If the State permitted the use
to the City for parking I would be recommend that the City notify the
State of a change in activity at this location. As a solution (option),
I am currently working on an OCIP program that this group or any other
group that is required to have insurance when on City property can
purchase directly from the City. At this time we are clarifying
underwriting requirements relative to policy pricing. I expect to have
the framework and cost of this option by October 25th.
