Title
A Resolution Authorizing Regions Insurance, Inc. as the City's Advisor for Risk Management and Consulting Services on Workers Compensation.
Summary
Description of Topic: (who, what, where, when, why and how much)
The City's Workers Compensation Claims continue to increase with the experience modification rate moving from .93 in 2015 to 1.17 in 2016. Therefore, Human Resources desires to contract with Regions Insurance for strategic planning, access to an Advisor's client service team and the services of designing, analyzing and recommending effective risk management and insurance coverage solutions with regard to the City's worker's compensation, property and liability insurances. The annual cost of the advisor services is $25,000 which can be directly offset by the discount obtained through the Drug Free Premium Credit the City will receive in exchange for the drug free training the Advisor service will provide to City employees. Therefore, no additional budget funds are needed or being requested. Our goal will be to reduce worker's compensation claims by 25% over a two year period which could result in $323,117 less losses having the effect of lower premium results in future years. Regions will also negotiate premiums with the carriers for property and liability insurances as well.
