The HOA has decided to hire someone to clean up small amounts of litter,
mostly that escape from trash cans on recycling and trash days, when
emptied into the trucks.
The management company found a place that will charge 600/month. Number
of hours was not specified in the offer, only what would be done
OTOH, I think we should hire a neigborhood kid. Even if we paid him
$15/hour that would be 40 hours a month, OR, he'd only have to work 16
hours a month. Plus it would be good for the kid**, and we'd write him
a recommendation when he wanted to get a better job.
AFAICT, the only issue is that that the cleaning company comes with a
million dollars worth of insurance in case of injury.
But our general liability policy, that we already pay for, might have a
medical expense limit of 5000 dollars. I'd rather ask you before also
asking the insurance agent, so tell me what the following means:
LIMITS OF INSURANCE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EACH OCCURRENCE LIMIT $1,000,000
DAMAGE TO PREMISES
RENTED TO YOU LIMIT $1,000,000 ANY ONE PREMISES
MEDICAL EXPENSE LIMIT $5,000 ANY ONE PERSON
PERSONAL & ADVERTISING INJURY LIMIT
$1,000,000 ANY ONE PERSON OR ORGANIZATION
GENERAL AGGREGATE LIMIT $2,000,000
What is a Personal & Advertising Injury? Is the limit $5000 or one
million?
All the kid has to do is walk around and pick up litter, and once in
while add more baggies to the dog stations (I never go where the dogs
walk, but I did once fix the dispensor when it got knocked down by a
car.)
How can he injure himself more than 5000? By getting a cut, then an
infection, then gangrene or dying of sepsis?
This could also affect an individual homeowner who hired a kid to help
him take junk out of the basement, do gardening, mow his lawn, etc.
Would the chance of high medical bills stop you? Or is that your
homeowner policy has a higher limit?
**The boy who used to mow my lawn is now a VP of a Fortune 50
corporation and president of his own division of it. He said other
kids teased him that he had to work so hard, in the heat sometimes, but
he didn't mind the teasing because he made 2 or 3 times or more what
they did at McDonalds etc.

or business’s personal or intellectual rights. It can include libel,
slander, and copyright infringement.
Why does an HOA need insurance for that? Why does it get one whole
line out of 5 or 9 lines.
At any rate, it doens't apply to picking up litter so the limit for that
seems to be 5000. Maybe we could get a rider to make it higher.

Personal injury is obvious.
Advertising is presumably due to being sued for false advertising.

Stabbing himself with an infect syringe and getting HIV/AIDS etc that way.

Not me but then I take risks myself and we have
a very decent single payer medical system.

I don't have one.

But those doing drug dealing made a lot more than he did.
Hookers do too.

I wrote
there is extra litter after stuff escapes when the trash men are pouring
stuff in the truck. Some people fill their trashbins loosely, and don't
use big trash bags
b) I have over 100 neighbors spreead over 6 or 7 blocks of streets. I'll
bet your n'hood is less dense, and when there is a crowd, people behave
differently. Worse. The same people behave better in smaller groups
but the bigger the crowd the worse they behave. That's how Jan 6 got so
many people to do such terrible stuff. Why Mr. Clark told us in the 9th
grade, Never be a part of a mob. 100 households mostly coming and going
at different times is nowhere near a mob but some feel no responsibiiity
because they didn't drop it, they're in a hurry in the morning and
tired or hungry in the evening.
BTW, more of it ends up in my yard, I think. I must be downwind, and
some is caught by the fence, or it goes over the fence which then stops
the wind from taking it farther. I find quite a bit in my yard and
lots of it under the evergreen bushes, between them and the fence. I
have to crawl on my knees 15 or 20 feet to get the stuff out, about
twice a year.

They are honest here and don't call it a license, it is a Business Tax
Receipt but most people call it a Business or Occupational License.
It just tells all the tax people where you are. It makes it easier for
the HOA to write the 1099.
They do sell Professional Licenses for strange shit here but custodian
isn't on that list.
Now, if you want to paint fingernails or braid hair, you need a
license.
It might be easier to move.
