| 1 | | | Agenda Item | ORDINANCE NO. 3315 AMENDING LMC 7.40.080 REGARDING INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR SPECIAL EVENTS TO CORRESPOND WITH ACTIVITY DATES
COUNCIL STRATEGIC INITIATIVE ADDRESSED:
Continue effective financial management
Strengthen economic conditions and create new opportunities
CITY ATTORNEY REVIEW: REQUIRED
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Currently the City code provides that special event insurance must be written for a period of not less than 24 hours prior to the event and extending for a period of not less than 24 hours following the completion of the event.
Most special events that require a permit also require insurance, including single day events. The cost of event insurance for the duration of the event is significantly more expensive for 3-day coverage than for the duration of a single day event. Event insurance is typically issued as a 24-hour insurance.
Amending LMC 7.40.080 to provide that special event insurance shall be written for the days of the event will provide economic savings to community groups while providing sufficient cover | approved | Pass |

| 1 | | | Agenda Item | COWLITZ COUNTY RADIO SYSTEM
COUNCIL STRATEGIC INITIATIVE ADDRESSED:
Enhance public safety and emergency response
CITY ATTORNEY REVIEW: REQUIRED
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Over the last eighteen months, Cowlitz County Fire District #5 (Kalama) has pursued improvements in radio communications within the jurisdictional territory of CCFD #5 and CCFD #1 (Rural Woodland). During their exploration for a solution they evaluated the current backbone of Cowlitz County’s radio system and discovered a number of previously unknown infrastructure problems. As a result of these identified problems, a solution was developed that included securing grant funding from FEMA’s Port Security Grant Program.
CCFD #5 and #1 funded the grant’s 25% required match of $450,000. The grant provided funding to develop improvements to the backbone system, which ended up being a NXDN 6.25 Digital Radio System. While it was not part of the initial focus of these improvements, the City of Longview ended up with excellent digital radio system coverage.
