Corporation this request on the advice of Staff, pending review by Legal

Proposal to join the Association Mr. Meadows reviewed the
of California Water Agencies' status of this proposal since Joint Powers Insurance Authority the Board approved the appli- cation of the District for
membership. We were accepted for membership in January 1985. ACWA prefers that action be taken by the District within one year of acceptance. (See agenda packet for memorandum and attachments.)
We have been contacted by the City of Carlsbad regarding the possibility of including their water-related facilities in. this program with the City as coinsured paying the added premium for
their facilities. A copy of the City-District Water Service Agreement was sent to JPIA for their review; they have since notified us that these facilities could be included in the policy.
Mr. Tague reviewed the coverage the District currently has with
Safeco (see his handout in agenda packet), including $5 million coverage for dam failure. He said the problem with getting coverage for Lake Calavera is the proximity of people. It is
consideTed an attractive nuisance and would be an exclusion on our pollcy with Safeco.
