Committee Decision
The Executive Committee received, for information, the report (May 26, 2010) from the City Manager, entitled "Availability of Candidate Protection Insurance For Candidates In The 2010 Municipal Election".
Origin
Summary
At its March 1, 2010 meeting Executive Committee considered the City Manager’s report on the “Feasibility To Create A Candidate Protection Fund To Be Funded By Candidates In The 2010 Municipal Election” and requested a report on the availability of an insurance product that provides candidate protection. Following an extensive search of the world wide insurance market, an insurance product for municipal election candidates has not been found. Such a program of coverage could not be developed because it can not be made to be mandatory for all candidates.
