SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: October 19, 2011 AGENDA ITEM:
DEPARTMENT: Recreation & Facilities CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson PREPARED BY: Michael Taylor DIRECTOR: Michael Taylor
SUBJECT: Update of City of Saratoga Risk Management Policy
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends the Council approve the update to the City of Saratoga Risk Management
Policy.
REPORT SUMMARY: The City Council of Saratoga adopted Resolution 2668 (Attachment A) on July 5, 1990 to
establish a Risk Management Policy for the City. On March 1, 2006, Council passed and adopted
Resolution 06-015 (Attachment B) updating the Policy Concerning Risk Management.
DISCUSSION:
This Policy provides overall responsibility for risk management to the City Manager or his/her
designee. In Section 2.1 of the Policy, the City Clerk is named as responsible for Risk Manager
duties. With the pending departure of the City Clerk, and the fact that Risk Manager responsibilities are currently being handled by the Recreation and Facilities Director, staff recommends modifying the language in the Policy to reflect a more generic “The City Manager
shall designate a Risk Manager for the City.” The proposed Policy with the recommended update
highlighted is attached (Attachment C).
FISCAL IMPACTS:
Adopting the Policy will not incur any additional fiscal impact for the principles of the City Risk
Management Policy are already being followed.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By not adopting the Policy, the City would not be following its adopted Risk Management
Policy.
FOLLOW UP ACTION:
As directed by Council.
