Hawever, in an effort ta save money caunicil endorsed a plan ta increase the Town.,s deductihle front $ 10.000) to $25,000. The increase in deductible amounts rcdaced Miltons premiums from $197,914 ta $156,000. Council rejected any possibility of entering a reciprocal insur- ance pool, where premiums are much reduced but any lasses incurred are charged back ta members. Under such a plan Milton would have paid premiums af $125,685 but the Town's share of any lasses would have been about four per cent. If lasses were $1 million, as they were in Council Briefs 1997, then Milton would have ta pay an additional $40,000 ta the I nsurance pool ta caver them. In the recipracal insurance yaur payments are nat fmnished with yaur premiums," explained Jim McQuecn, Milton's acting chief administrative afficer.

Councillor Lieven Gevaert said the nisk of a catastrophic event "is pretty small" and he wondered what Milton's premium wauld have been with the reciprocal pool if the Town accepted the same $25,000 deductible. Mr. McQueen said he had not obtained a quote on that because he took the initial prices, and fearing the apen-ended nature of the reciprocal pool, he increased the deductible ta reduce the gap bctwccn the two premium quotes. Mr. Gcvaert said he wanted a quote from the reciprocal pool with thc increase in deductible.
