newly elected trustees, had
little time to study insurance
needs. Future periodsc yvill
date from October 26, to
October 26.
Committee chairman,
Michael Connolly of Kippen,
-explained too that with winter
storms the insurance and
"finance committee had had
problems arranging meetings
this year.
- In addition to the renewal
date change, others are: The
deductible en property in-
surance (,buildings and
contents) will be increased
from $1,000 to '$`2,500 per
occurrence at an annual cost
saving of $1,013. That liability
insurance limits on
automobile fleet, non -owned
auto and school liability be'
increased from $3,000,000 to
$4„000,000 at an estimated
annual increased cost of
$192.00; that trustees' ac-
cident insurance be increased
from the current weekly
indemnity benefit of $100 total
and $50 partial to. $200 total
and $100 partial for an ad-
ditional cost of $133 per year
for 14 trustees.
Trustees are insured by -the
board when they are, on board
business or en ropte to or
from it. ;Trustee Ted Geoffrey
asked if trustees could be
insured on a 24-hour basis
rather than just when on
business. Insurance
representatives from
Stratford, David Reed and
John Lawson, ,said this was
possible but ,td estimate the
extra cost it would be.
necessary to know what type
of work each trustee was
employed. The insurance and
finance committee will look
into this before next renewal
date in October.
In other business, mileage
allowance paid to trustees
was increased from 16 cents
to 18 cents per mile
retroactive to " January 1,
1977.
The board will again this
year ask the municipalities in
Huron and 'Perth to pay the
school levies in two in -
I.1
s,tallments bn June' 30 and
Decelnber15.
Trustee David Teahen
questioned why
municipalities do not pay
their school levies on the
same dates -they collect their
taxes such as Stratford which
collects four times a year.
Trustee Connolly said he
felt all municipalities should
be dealt with in the same
manner and all pay twice
yearly.
Jack Lane, superintendent
of business, explained° that
the board would have to have
its budget completed „much
earlier than it does pt present
in order to get requisitions tout
•to municipalities so that they -
could pay iri March.
