Fire Chief Tom Tomberg thanked the council for convening to consider the agreement and hoped that the
narrative sufficiently answered any questions.
Council President Dave Earling inquired about the expectation of increased insurance costs and the
possibility of capping the insurance. Chief Tomberg discussed the pertinent RCW's and, because of the
urgency of completing the agreement, he felt that the attorneys were not comfortable in setting the
agreement up in any other way. He stated that he and Lynnwood Fire Chief Olson planned to review the
agreement after January 1" to look at costs. Council President Earling requested that Chief Tomberg
