(A) All existing operations, programs, equipment and facilities of the city should be identified and evaluated to determine the potential severity and frequency of accidental loss. All potential hazards to the public or to city employees should be reduced to their practical minimum. Those services or facilities which constitute a potential liability risk to the city disproportionate to the public need or benefits derived therefrom, should be discontinued where the city has discretion as to the continued performance or existence of such service or facility.

(B) It shall be the general policy of the city to utilize loss prevention techniques wherever possible, consistent with the cost involved. Efforts to prevent losses shall be given first priority. Loss prevention recommendations of federal and state agencies, insurance companies, and other experts shall be implemented whenever practical. (Ord. 89-98 § 1, 1989.)
