Consideration of a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea delegating authority to the City Administrator or Assistant City Administrator to act on behalf of the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea in matters related to the CSAC (California State Association of Counties) Insurance Authority.
In July 2006, the City joined the CSAC Excess Insurance Authority (CSAC EIA) for the procurement of insurance and risk management services. In order to ensure that individuals are authorized to fully act on behalf of their respective entity, CSAC EIA requires the governing board of all member entities to officially designate a representative, either an individual or a position, who has authority to officially act on behalf of their entity.
On August 3, 2010, the City Council delegated and appointed the Public Safety Director to act in all matters related to the member and the Authority. Based on review of City operations and authority, the classification that manages the procurement of insurance and risk management services is the combination of the City Administrator or Assistant City Manager. This is an administrative change to ensure the authority is delegated to the correct position.
