COMPENSATION INSURANCE
RECOMMENDED ACTION: q&v?‘Y Approval of Resolution No. authorizing the renewal of Excess Workers’ Compensation
Insurance coverage in accordance with staffs recommendation at a premium deposit of $19,907.
I ITEM EXPLANATION
The current Excess Workers’ Compensation Insurance Policy expired on June 30, 1998. Coverage
has been continued pending Council action on the current proposal. This policy provides for loss
coverage which exceeds the City’s self-insured retention level.
Cal-Surance, the City’s insurance broker, has obtained a renewal quote from the City’s incumbent
carrier, Employers Reinsurance Corporation. The renewal premium is $19,907, more than 18% less
than last year’s premium of $24,429.
The reduced premium reflects increased competition among workers’ compensation insurance
carriers. All other terms and conditions of coverage are unchanged.
FISCAL IMPACT
The recommended renewal quotation for one year is $19,907. The City’s SIR would remain at
$300,000 for each claim.
