L Sm. I 1 4MB, Shf ' lJ " ii. .Sli j r Police Department adds by Bettina Moench For the first time, Park City now has false arrest and civil rights liability insurance. insur-ance. In a budget year that will see property taxes rise because development is expected ex-pected to slow down, some Parkites might wonder why the city needs to spend $6,300 a year on that kind of insurance. But consider this: In South Tucson, Ariz., a police officer offi-cer who was shot and paralyzed during a raid won a $3.6 million judgment from the city $1 million more than the city's annual budget; bud-get; in the 600-person town of Paw Paw, West Virginia, half of the municipal budget was forfeited when a jury awarded $10,500 to a motorist motor-ist who claimed his rights were violated when police chased his speeding car across the state line; in Salt Lake City, a family was awarded a relatively meager $480,000 when police accidentally acciden-tally shot a drunken man to death.

Close enough for the laziest skier to walk to the lifts, yet set back enough to avoid the hustle, bustle and noise of the resort plaza foot traffic. The extensive landscaping will further enhance the Silver King as an exclusive ex-clusive island of elegant serenity with unbeatable proximity to skiing. Fortunately, Park City has not been saddled with expensive expen-sive damage settlements from civil rights lawsuits. But to assume that it never will in the future could be risky business. There are documented cases of small towns claiming bankruptcy or disincorporating because they simply could not pay settlement costs. (For clarification, the city has always carried general liability insurance on municipal munic-ipal vehicles and for accidents, acci-dents, such as a person falling on a sidewalk and claiming injury; this additional addi-tional insurance deals with claims of false arrest and civil rights violations.) A city without civil rights liability insurance "is like a doctor operating without malpractice insurance," said Chief of Police Frank Bell. "It's best, of course, to stay out of a situation that will result in a lawsuit. But it's an occupational hazard that can come up, and it's best to have insurance." f 0 1 Wlltll Claims of civil rights violations can range from the trivial to the tragic. And while a city can't insure itself against every possibility, possi-bility, City Attorney Tom Clyde said he feels the city is well protected with $1 million mil-lion worth of coverage. Two claims of civil rights violations against local governments gov-ernments illustrate where adequate insurance coverage cover-age can come into play: In March of 1980, Salt Lake resident Sandra Weinrauch came to Park City to ski with California attorney friend Robert Cohen. Weinrauch, along with seven other motorists, illegally parked her car at the Park City Resort and caused traffic tie-ups because city buses couldn't turn onto the road. Her car, along with the seven others that were ticketed, was towed to Mike Speers' impound lot. It was explained explain-ed to her by both the Coalville dispatcher and Park City Police Officer John Newland that she could retrieve her car by paying a Why is It was a deflating day for Park City High School teacher tea-cher Susan Tuft. As she approached her BMW 2002 in the parking lot on June 3, she discovered that the valve stems had been cut off two tires on the driver's side of the car, which was facing away from the school. The police have no suspects in the vandalism. In other incidents: Carpenter Dannie Kar-nas Kar-nas of Park City told police June 1 that a flourescent light, a heavy-duty electrical extension cord, and a set of drill bits worth $182 were stolen from his work area in the Park City Fire Station over the Memorial Day The City Council of Park City will hold a regular public pub-lic meeting at the Memorial Building at 5 p.m., on June 10.

But Weinrauch and Cohen decided that it was illegal for Park City to require the payment of a towing and impound fee before conviction convic-tion of the parking violation. So they simply drove the car off the impound lot and headed for Salt Lake. Notified that the car was stolen, Officer Newland and Mike Speers independently gave chase, finally pulling Weinrauch over on Interstate Inter-state 80. Speers allegedly behaved belligerently, but after discussion with Officer Newland, Weinrauch agreed to pay the $25 and drove off. A few weeks later, the city was hit with a lawsuit that claimed a minimum of $170,000 worth of damages as a result of civil rights violations. The case was. thrown out of federal district court in Salt Lake City, but it cost the city $6,000 in attorney's fees to defend itself. Now, Weinrauch has apppaled the oasp to the 10th there air? weekend. Since the building was locked, the police believe be-lieve the thief may be a current or ex-fireman. The drill bits were in a tool box with a $200 drill, which was left behind. William Prince of Salt Lake reported the theft of a Sears lawnmower and three small pine trees from his lot in Deer Valley June 1. The value of the items was estimated at $289.

Salt Lake Attorney Max Wheeler has been working on the case now for over two years, and it is estimated that the appeal will cost the city an additional addition-al $2,000. Wheeler is confident Weinrauch Wein-rauch will lose the appeal, but it will have cost Park City $8,000 to prove it did nothing wrong. Had the civil rights liability insurance been in place, it could have saved taxpayers about $1,700 (the difference between be-tween the legal expenses and the cost of the insurance.) The second case is a bit more extreme: According to Clerk Reed Pace, Summit County carries car-ries a $100,000 civil rights liability insurance policy. Unfortunately, the county is anticipating paying at least three times that amount to defend officials against the $110 million civil rights lawsuit filed by Vickie Singer, Sin-ger, whose husband was shot to death in January 1979 by contained about $250. Police are investigating suspects in the June 3 burglary. A color television owned by Mathew Simmons was taken from a Snow Country condominium sometime between be-tween May 25 and May 30, manager Harriet Stephens told police. The unit is used for nightly rentals, although it supposedly had been vacant since May 25. The condo was entered through an east window. The TV was valued at $300.

But if any county officials are found culpable, the award money likely would be raised through an increase in property taxes. It would be unrealistic for , Summit County to carry insurance for a case as extreme as the Singer's, but Reed Pace did comment that he was looking into upgrading upgrad-ing the civil rights liability insurance. The $6,300 yearly premium may seem like a lot of money, but it could prove to be worth the price some day. "The problem is, we're going to get lawsuits," said Chief Bell. "Some people do it just for the sake of doing it. Then there's the righteous lawsuit we're human and we can screw up. If it's a legitimate claim, we'll own up to it; if it's harassment, we'll fight it all the way." was stopped near the Mt. Air Cafe after he was observed driving erratically.

Ray caused $800 in damages to his 1982 Camaro when he struck a 1982 Subaru driven by Scott Williams of Park City. Damage to Williams' car was estimated at $2,500.
