Executive Summary The city is purchasing its annual property insurance coverage of $100 million through AON for fiscal year 2026-27 for an amount not to exceed $731,827. The city moved its property insurance coverage to Aon three years ago because Aon could provide higher limits and broader coverage than its previous brokers and programs. The policy period will run from July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027. This purchase must be approved by the City Council under Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 3.28.040 (D)(1) because the cost exceeds $250,000 per agreement year. Fiscal Analysis The fiscal year 2026-27 premium for Aon property insurance coverage is not to exceed $731,827. This represents a $49,066, or approximately 7.2%, increase over last year’s actual cost. The premium will be paid with funds from the FY 2026-27 Risk Management Internal Service Fund. Sufficient funds have been included in the FY 2026-27 Budget for this premium. Next Steps Staff will create a purchase order for Aon’s payment. Environmental Evaluation The proposed action is not a “project” as defined by California Environmental Quality Act, or CEQA, Section 21065 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4) and does not require environmental review under CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) as it is a government fiscal activity and does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.
