ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
TO: Members of Dublin city Council
FROM: Timothy C. Hansley, City Manager
INITIATED BY: Dana L. McDaniel, Management Assistant
.-
SUBJECT: Agreement U-69, Ohio Bureau of Worker's ~tion
DATE: July 9, 1991
Attached you will find Ordinance 50-91 authorizing you to enter
into a U-69 Agreement with Ohio Bureau of Worker's Compensation.
You may recall two years ago when Council in fact passed a similar
Ordinance for both a U-69 and U-133 Agreements respectively. These
contracts extended Worker's Compensation coverage to time service
workers made available via Mayor's Court (U-69) and for Auxiliary
Police (U-133).
The Division of Parks & Recreation is beginning to receive more and
more volunteer services from the general public and various service
organizations. These volunteers are providing general labor at no
charge for such activities as park 'clean-up and other
beautification projects. While these individuals would have been
entitled to coverage in the past, we are now receiving the levels
of volunteer hours that warrant contract placement. Specifically,
Sarah Andres estimates nearly 350 planned volunteer man-hours
donated this summer.
Other future projects from various City Division or disastrous
incidents will also warrant having this contract in place.
~'>"'d"
'. The City's return of man-hours donated versus the rate for U-69
coverage is cost effective. As an example, $1,500 worth of labor
(using minimum wage rates) would require only $50 in premium
coverage. While the U-69 Agreement will be on file with the Ohio
Bureau of Worker's compensation, the City will only incur costs for
coverage after the work is completed, hence, only covering those
who actually work. Further liability exposures regarding
volunteers are covered by the City's general liability coverages.
The actual contract will be executed by you, pending passage of
this Ordinance. I will report all names and volunteer hours
donated on a monthly basis as is now the practice with the current
U-69 and U-133 Agreements.
