BOARD COMMENTS
Mr. DeVivo started a discussion of the importance of insurance and documentation. He indicated that it is not only important for a contractor to submit the appropriate insurance, but to also submit their declaration pages, to ensure that they are properly licensed and insured for the work they are hired to perform.
There was discussion of the Board's limitations as regulated by City laws and Ordinances, and also changing State laws, which may too affect its capabilities. The Board decided to take this matter under consideration, and add it to the December agenda for further discussion.
