HANNIBAL â For the ninth consecutive year the city of Hannibal has scored 100% on its annual comprehensive risk management safety evaluation and audit. The results were announced during Tuesday nightâs meeting of the Hannibal City Council at city hall.
The evaluation and safety audit is conducted annually by MIRMA, the cityâs self-insured property/casualty, liability and workmanâs compensation carrier.
âAside from enhancing overall employee safety, higher evaluation scores do impact the amount the city is assessed in annual premiums,â said City Clerk Angel Zerbonia, the cityâs official executive safety officer and MIRMA representative.
In reaching the 100% plateau the city scored 1,139 points out of a possible 1,140, which Zerbonia said âis quite a task for a city of our size.â
HANNIBAL â In an effort to address the communityâs waste problems the Hannibal City Council is contemplating having the city take an active role in trash hauling.
According to City Attorney James Lemon the city has two options. It could enter into a contractual agreement with the trash haulers who are currently serving the city or take over the trash hauling itself.
âThe reason why this is being brought forward is not because we just want to have one hauler, but what is in the best interest of the community as a whole as far as trash services,â said Mayor James Hark.
