Body
DISCUSSION/BACKGROUND
The County faces a complex array of risks that can result in severe or catastrophic loss. Purchasing insurance helps protect the County from catastrophic general liability claims, automobile accidents, and workers' compensation injuries. Additionally, purchasing insurance protects the County from loss due to damage or destruction of County assets. The County procures a variety of insurance policies and programs to mitigate and transfer exposures to catastrophic loss. By securing these risk mitigating and transfer mechanisms, the County is better positioned to protect assets and personnel for the fulfillment of its services, objectives, and Strategic Plan.
This request is an annual process for the Board to authorize the Risk Management Division to renew insurance coverage and programs provided by PRISM and Alliant. The County utilizes its participation in PRISM in conjunction with professional insurance brokerage services from Alliant to place a variety of commercial insurance policies to protect the County.
The Risk Management Division has evaluated this insurance program in terms of potential loss, coverage, self-insured retentions, deductibles, and policy limits, and recommends the purchase of insurance as described below.
