Russo, City Manager FROM: Yael Y. Londono, HR& Risk Management Director DATE: 9/20/2018 Renewal of Property, Casualty,Auto,Workers Comp RE: Insurance with Brown &Brown/Preferred Government Insurance Trust(PGIT) RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Commission approve the attached resolution to renew the City's Property, Liability, Auto, and Workers Compensation insurance with the Preferred Government Insurance Trust (PGIT) and/or Brown & Brown Insurance for the period of October 1, 2018 through September 30, 2019 in an amount not to exceed$1,500,000.00. REASONS: • The renewal premium for the Commercial Package Policy (Property, Liability, and Auto) and Workers Compensation is $1,328,497.75 which is$131,618.00 or 11% more than last year($1,196,879.75). The contributing factor for the premium increase is due to claims, payroll and additional property. • Additionally, staff is allocating $171,502.25 for deductibles and for additional premiums expected upon the completion of capital projects, which will be added to the property insurance during the upcoming fiscal year. Staff worked closely with Brown & Brown (Robert Hollander)to review possible courses of action to reduce premiums to include increasing our deductibles in certain coverage and the feasibility of self-insurance in areas that we as a City have had good claims experience. Based on the available options, renewal with PGIT with the coverage and terms indicated is our best, most cost effective, option. In sum, staff recommends renewal of the Brown & Brown/Preferred Governmental Insurance Trust(PGIT) proposal for the Package Policy and Workers Compensation and miscellaneous insurances as attached. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The City currently has Commercial Insurance Package (Property, Casualty, and Auto) and Workers' Compensation insurance through PGIT which is a premier insurance organization for public entities and is a non-assessable Trust approved by the Florida State Legislature.
