The commercial insurance renewal for Fiscal Year 2022 has a total estimated cost of $6,650,000.00, which is an increase in the estimated annual
amount of $2,659.331.00 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.
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 2022 premium cost is $4,900,101.00.
Commercial general liability insurance: The City's commercial liability insurance policies will become due prior to the end of FY2022 at an
estimated cost of $1,749,899.00.

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
