Tort Liability Insurance Renewal
Date: February 9, 2026
To: STMA Arena Board
From: Tina Lannes, Finance Director
Attached is the waiver form for review.
It is recommended the Arena Board consider the following motion:
Motion to waive the monetary limits on tort liability to the extent of the limits of the
liability coverage obtained from LMCIT.
The STMA Arena Board has in past years waived our monetary limits on tort liability and
purchased additional coverage up to the $2,000,000 per occurrence and in aggregate. The
League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT) requires and the SECTION I: LIABILITY
COVERAGE WAIVER FORM states that members obtaining liability coverage from the
League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust must decide whether or not to waive the statutory
tort limits to the extent of the coverage purchased. This decision must be made by the governing
board. Entities purchasing coverage must complete and return this form to LMCIT before the
effective date of the coverage.
Upon submission of this "signed and dated" Waiver Form, the LMCIT will issue an Extension of
Coverage Binder effective with a 03/10/26 effective date.
It usually takes more than thirty (30) days for the LMCIT to process a renewal application. The
Extension of Coverage Binder assures the coverage beyond the 03/10/26 renewal date.
STMA Arena Board’s Insurance Agent continues to recommend waiving the monetary limits on
tort liability for the Arena.
STMA Arena Board 02/09/26 15
League of Minnesota Cities
Liability Coverage Waiver Form
LIABILITY COVERAGE WAIVER FORM
The decision to waive or not waive the statutory tort limits must be made annually by the
member’s governing body, in consultation with its attorney if necessary.
Members who obtain liability coverage from LMCIT must decide whether to waive the statutory
tort liability limits to the extent of the coverage purchased. The decision has the following effects:
•If the member does not waive the statutory tort limits, an individual claimant could recover no more
than $500,000 on any claim to which the statutory tort limits apply. The total all claimants could
recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply would be limited to
$1,500,000. These statutory tort limits would apply regardless of whether the member purchases the
optional LMCIT excess liability coverage.
•If the member waives the statutory tort limits and does not purchase excess liability coverage, a
single claimant could recover up to $2,000,000 for a single occurrence (under the waive option, the
tort cap liability limits are only waived to the extent of the member’s liability coverage limits, and
the LMCIT per occurrence limit is $2,000,000). The total all claimants could recover for a single
occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply would also be limited to $2,000,000, regardless
of the number of claimants.
•If the member waives the statutory tort limits and purchases excess liability coverage, a single
claimant could potentially recover an amount up to the limit of the coverage purchased. The total all
claimants could recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply would also
be limited to the amount of coverage purchased, regardless of the number of claimants.
Claims to which the statutory municipal tort limits do not apply are not affected by this decision.

Rubber Matting
Date: February 9, 2026
To: STMA Arena Board
From: Adam Nafstad, City Administrator
The Arena Manager has researched replacement matting for various areas of the arena and is
recommending replacement matting in the following locations:
• Gold Rink Corridor
• Locker rooms 1 through 7
• Gold rink Bathrooms (3)
• Refs room
• West end of the Gold Rink
• Gold Rink players and penalty box areas
• Southeast corner of Blue Rink
There are several different grades of matting and staff is recommending Nora matting, a high-
quality matting, which not only will hold up to wear the best, it is also the easiest to clean and
keep sanitized. It is estimated the Nora product will last in excess of 20 years.
The low quote for the job was submitted by All America Arena Products in the amount of
$175,000.
The replacement matting is included on the Arena’s CIP as a 2025 project; however, do to tariffs
the project was delayed.
