Discussion: Councilperson Schwartz said that he would like to see the Board accept the proposal from Wood Insurance because it appears to have a lesser annual premium. He would like to have more time to review the proposals . He said he thinks we are comparing $39,000 . 00 to $36,000 . 00 . Supervisor Oltz said that the premiums are nearly the same for both proposals. Councilperson Steiner said that he thinks that the insurance coverage for Town vehicles should have $ 500 . 00 deductible with full coverage for glass. He said as he understands the proposals that we are comparing $40,282 . 31 against $39, 156 . 72. Supervisor Oltz reported that she has dealt with Ithaca Agency for a number of years and thinks that they have treated the town fairly. The representatives are easy to deal with, accessible at all times and would like the town to stay with them. She said we have not dealt with Wood Agency and could not voice an opinion but has not had satisfactory results in trying to reach Mr. Livermore in his office. Councilperson Steiner said that he agrees with Supervisor Oltz in that the quotes are very similar and the existing company is nearly $ 1 ,000 lesser in premium, he would choose Ithaca Agency. He understands that both companies could reduce their premiums if the Town opted to go to deductibles instead of full coverage. Motion to Approve Town Insurance Carrier A motion was made by Supervisor Oltz and seconded by Councilperson Steiner that the Town Board accept the Ithaca Agency be retained by the Town to provide the Town with insurance coverage for the year 1996 .
