DISCUSSION:
On June 16, 2015, the City Council approved (M&C C-27333) designating Hub International as the City's Broker of record (Broker). The Broker is
authorized to provide consulting and brokerage services associated with the placement and administration of the following insurance policies:
property, boiler and machinery, liability insurance and other casualty policies as needed.
The commercial insurance renewal for Fiscal Year 2020 has a total estimated cost of $3,233,487.00, which is an increase in the estimated annual
amount of $819,651.00 across all policies. The increases are a result of unprecedented rate increases in the property insurance market, a more
complete inventory and appraisal of City properties resulting increases in the total insured value, and the purchase of commercial property
insurance for the new Dickies Arena.
By agreement, the City agreed to participate in the purchase of property insurance for the new Dickies Arena. The cost of the Commercial
Property Insurance policy is $318,945.00.
Property Insurance: The City's all-risk commercial property insurance is provided through a layered structure, involving multiple insurers employing
a reinsurance quota share approach, which is a form of cost sharing. The multiple layer structure provides a $500,000,000.00 coverage limit with a
$250,000.00 deductible. The Fiscal Year 2020 premium cost is $2,242,178.00 which is an increase of approximately $600,000.00 across all
property policies.
Commercial General Liability Insurance: The City's commercial liability insurance policies will become due prior to the End of FY2020 at an
estimated cost of $990,000.00.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds
will be available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, of the Risk Financing Fund. Prior to any expenditure being incurred, the Risk
Management Department has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds.
