Public Safety and Facilities Announcements

9/1/09 - 9/1/10 Auto Insurance

The new auto liability insurance cards for policy year 9.1.09 through 9.1.10 are available for pick up at the Facilities Management Office in Memorial 20.

Please note that when you are renting a vehicle for College business to "decline or waive" the insurance offered by the car rental company. The auto insurance purchased by the College includes "non-owned" vehicles for domestic use. You may be required to show "proof of insurance" at the time of rental, this card is the document you need.

Also note, when using your personal vehicle for College business your personal auto insurance will be the "primary" coverage. If a situation occurs whereby the limits are exceeded due to a situation connected with College business, the College's non-owned vehicle insurance will become "secondary or excess" coverage.

If you have any questions regarding College insurance coverage [non-benefit related] please contact David Draus at X1033 or draus@augsburg.edu.

New Metropass Sales Begin Today at Sverdrup 100

The new Metropass Go-To Card is now on sale at the Enrollment service counters at Sverdrup 100. All Augsburg, non-student employees working 20 hours per week or greater are eligible to participate in the Metropass program. Participants must sign up for the pass for a contract year that begins this September 1st and goes through August 31, 2010. The cost of the pass is $38.00 per month and it will be automatically deducted (pre-tax) from participants pay.

Each participant has the opportunity to renew their card during the last month of the contract year. The Go-To cards are quicker to use on bus and trains and they also eliminate the need to go and purchase a monthly card at the service counter every month. The Go-To cards are good for light rail and buses, every day, all day including trips to some of the outlying suburbs. Additional cash will be needed for exceptionally long commutes outside the 7 county metro area.

Participants must agree to participate for the contract year, allow their I.D. picture to be used on the Go-To card and participants must return the card to Human Resources when their employment at the college ends. The monthly pass previously on sale will be discontinued September 1st when the Metropass contract begins. The cash value cards will still be on sale at the Enrollment counter with the same 50% discount as before. The new Metropass cards will be delivered within two weeks of signing up for the program. If you need more information please call Tom Ruffaner @ Ext. 1641.

Free Stuff

I am moving soon and need to downsize a few things. My loss is your gain. All items will be FREE. However, I am not able to deliver them. So if you can pick them up, they can be yours (all items located in St. Paul, 4 miles from Augsburg). Feel free to take one, or take them all. The items:

-Queen Bed (includes mattress, box spring and frame). Pillow top, purchased approx. 3 years ago. In great condition, but I just don't need it.

-Coffee table. Glass top, metal bottom. The metal has an antiqued look. Square shaped with rounded edges. Approx 3x3 feet. In great shape.

-Dresser and matching night stand. 6 drawer dresser (3 on each side), light maple in color. Disclaimer: I have had these for some time. There is damage to the front in the form of scrapes and discoloration. These would be fine for someone who needs something functional, but doesn't want to pay for it.

If interested, please email or call 612-799-6967. The coffee table and dressers are available immediately. The bed will be available after on Aug. 28th. All items need to be gone by the end of the day on Sat. August 29th.
