' A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMPLE CITY
TO WAIVE STANDARD CITY INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR
DESIGNATED CONSULTANTS
WHEREAS, The City of Temple City utilizes form contracts for the majority of
the goods and services that it procures; and
WHEREAS, the City's form "Services Agreement" includes insurance
requirements designed to protect the City from exposure to liability for a variety of issues
that may arise when consultants are performing services for the City; and
WHEREAS, for purposes of providing editing, copy writing, translating, and
related services for its publications and notices, the City contracts with consultants under
its form Services Agreement; and
WHEREAS, these consultants do not undertake any actions that would
reasonably be expected to expose the City to the potential for liability; and
WHEREAS, some of the consultant editors, copy writers, translators, and graphic
designers have requested waivers from the City's standard insurance requirements
' because the requirements exceed the levels of insurance those persons need to have in the
normal course of their businesses and the cost of the excess insurance would be onerous
for their businesses and would likely require them to not accept work from the City; and
WHEREAS, the City Council wants to continue to provide a high level of service
for the City's communications function at the most efficient cost; and
WHEREAS, the City Council agrees that the exposure to liability arising from
the work performed by the consultants identified below is low enough that a waiver from
the standard insurance requirements is appropriate.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Temple City does hereby resolve, declare, determine and order as follows:
SECTION 1. As an amendment to Resolution No. 16-5219, the following City
consultants who provide editing, copy writing, translating, or related services under

Agreement:
