Chandler, County Administrator <br />THRU: Jack Price, Personnel Director <br />FROM: Beth Jordan, Risk Manage <br />rA <br />e"I <br />DATE: 22 October 1990 <br />SUBJECT: Workers' Compensation Excess Insurance Renewal <br />This is written to request Board consideration of the 1990-91 <br />excess workers' compensation insurance at the October 30, 1990, <br />meeting. <br />F <br />Background <br />=�•. -_ :.Following a request for proposals prepared and analyzed by Siver <br />Insurance Management Consultants, the County •approved excess <br />workers' compensation insurance coverage with Safety Mutual <br />-.s Casualty Corporation beginning November•l, 1989. <br />Analysis <br />Through the County's s broker� Arthur J. Gallagher Co.. Safety <br />Y <br />Mutual has proposed a renewal, as attached, with annual premium <br />of $91,242.00. The premium calculation is based upon .333 cents <br />per $100.00 of payroll, a slight increase from .32/$100 in 1989- <br />90. The renewal also increases the County's self-insured retention <br />from $175,000.00 to $200,000.00 per occurrence. <br />For comparison purposes, the Florida League of Cities, agent for <br />the County's property, general liability and auto liability <br />;.coverages, submitted a proposal of .398/$100, or an annual premium <br />of $109,033.00. Payroll estimates for premium calculations were <br />up almost 10.5 per cent from 1989-90. The Sheriff's Office, with <br />its potential for increased frequency and severity, has increased <br />estimated payroll over 11.5 per cent. <br />Although the retention level of $200,000.00 is an increase, we <br />believe the County should adopt it. Experience since 1985 shows <br />onl-y-two (2) claims which exceeded $175,000.00, one at $279,430.68 <br />50 <br />
