Workers' Compensation Excess Insurance2007 TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members FROM: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager SUBJECT: Workers' Compensation Excess Insurance DATE: July 2, 2008 Personnel Manager Randy Peck recommends approval of the Safety National renewal rate of 12¢ per $100 payroll for the workers' compensation excess insurance renewal. I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council approval. ~~ Michael C. Van Milligen MCVM/jh Attachment cc: Barry Lindahl, City Attorney Cindy Steinhauser, Assistant City Manager Randy Peck, Personnel Manager THE CITY OF Dubuque D~( TR ~ AI-Am~lcacKy V L Masterpiece on the Mississippi 2007 TO: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager FROM: Randy Peck, Personnel Manager SUBJECT: Workers' Compensation Excess Insurance DATE: June 25, 2008 Cottingham and Butler presented the workers' compensation excess insurance renewal options for coverage effective July 1, 2008. I have attached the renewal proposal for your review. Quotes were obtained from our current carrier, Safety National, and Midwest Employers Casualty Company and Sentry Insurance. Safety National presented the most competitive proposal for the existing coverages. Safety National proposed a rate of $.12 per $100 of payroll effective July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009. The current rate is $.125 per $100 of payroll. The renewal proposal provides for an estimated annual premium of $25,083 for Fiscal Year 2009. The current annual premium is $24,024. The increase is related to the increase in our payroll. If we were to include sworn police officers and firefighters medical claims under the $450,000 retention, Safety National would charge an additional premium of $50,435. Finance Director Ken TeKippe and I have discussed whether there would be any financial advantage to include sworn police officers and firefighters medical claims under the $450,000 retention limit. Since we would be liable for the first $450,000 of medical expenses, we recommend to continue excluding sworn police officers and firefighters medical claims from the $450,000 retention limit. Ken and I recommend that we continue with Safety National as our excess workers' compensation carrier effective July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009. Cottingham and Butler has issued a binder to make sure that there would be no lapse in coverage on July 1, 2008. The requested action is for the City Council to pass a motion approving the renewal rate of $.12 per $100 of payroll submitted by Safety National effective July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009, for the workers' compensation excess insurance. If you have any questions, please feel free to call.

BEST RATING & ANALYSIS The objective of Best's rating system is to provide an opinion as to an insurer's financial strength and ability to meet ongoing obligations to policyholders. A.M. Best's opinions are derived from an evaluation of a company's balance sheet strength, operating performance and business profile as compared with Best's quantitative and qualitative standards. Level Category Level Cate o Level Cate or A++, A+ Su erior B, B- Fair D Poor A, A- Excellent C++, C+ Marginal E Under Re ulato Su ervision B++, B+ Very Good C, C- Weak F In Li uidatiotz S Ratizzg Szzs ezzded Financial Size Categories (In $000 of Reported Policyholders' Surplus Plus Conditional Reserve Funds) Assigned to all companies and reflects their size based on their capital, surplus and conditional reserve funds in millions of US dollars, using the scale below. To enhance the usefulness of our ratings, A.M. Best assigns each company a Financial Size Category (FSC). The FSC is designed to provide the subscriber with a convenient indicator of the size of a company in terms of its statutory surplus and related accounts. Many insurance buyers only want to consider buying insurance coverage from companies that they believe have sufficient financial capacity to provide the necessary policy limits to insure their risks. Although companies utilize reinsurance to reduce their net retention on the policy limits they underwrite, many buyers still feel more comfortable buying from companies perceived to have greater financial capacity. FSC I Up to 1,000 FSC IX 250,000 to 500,000 FSC II 1,000 to 2,000 FSC X 500,000 to 750,000 FSC III 2,000 to 5,000 FSC XI 750,000 to 1,000,000 FSC N 5,000 to 10,000 FSC XII 1,000,000 to 1,250,000 FSC V 10,000 to 25,000 FSC XIII 1,250,000 to 1,500,000 FSC VI 25,000 to 50,000 FSC XN 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 FSC VII 50,000 to 100,000 FSC XV 2,000,000 or more FSC VIII 100,000 to 250,000 Best's Insurance Reports, published annually by A.M. Best Company, Inc., presents comprehensive reports on the financial position, history, and transactions of insurance companies operating in the United States and Canada. Companies licensed to do business in the United States are assigned a Best's Rating which attempts to measure the comparative position of the company or association against industry averages. Copies of the Best's Insurance Reports on the insurance companies are available upon your request. Cottingham & Butler uses A.M. Best & Co.'s rating services to evaluate the financial condition of insurers whose policies we propose to deliver. The rating of the carrier and the year of publication of that rating are indicated. Cottingham & Butler makes no representations and warranties concerning the solvency of any carrier, nor does it make any representation or warranty concerning the rating of the carrier which may change. ADMITTED/NON-ADMITTED/GUARANTY FUND DATA The term admitted or authorized carrier refers to an insurer, which has been approved (authorized) by a given state's insurance department to write business within that state. An admitted or authorized carrier is protected by the State Guaranty Fund should an insolvency (bankruptcy) of the insurer occur. Anon-admitted or unauthorized carrier in a given state is not protected by the Guaranty Fund in that state should the carrier become insolvent. It is important to keep in mind that an admitted or non-admitted status as well as the resulting applicability of any state's guaranty fund are issues only if/when a carrier is declared insolvent.
