Consideration of Notice of Claim Filed Against the City Administrator Rath explained the claim from Cheryl Losenegger is for a trip on the sidewalk. The first step in the process was to review the area to see if there were any prior claims or incidents and check if the area is part of any maintenance plans. Director of Public Works, Al Gerber, confirmed there were no prior claims or incidents and the area is not part of any future maintenance plans. Rath contacted the City's insurance carrier CVMIC, and CVMIC recommended denying the claim. Motion made by Ron Marsh and seconded by Richard Thoman to deny the claim. On a roll call vote, Motion Passed. 2. Resolution Approving Contract with Bauman Associates for Financial Services Questions and answers took place regarding the number of firms that were looked at and where the firm is located. Administrator Rath explained that a couple of firms that the League of Wisconsin Municipalities had sponsored were looked at, but one was not able to provide services in our area. Bauman Associates was interviewed and it was found that the firm is a good fit for the price and the services that they provide. The firm has its headquarters in Green Bay, but looks to have a satellite location in Madison. The firm would perform on site visits and would be available for meetings or by teleconference. Attorney Bartholf reviewed the contract and advised that the City has the right to terminate at will upon proper notice.
