Dear Council Members:
219/284 -9742
During the last several weeks, I've spoken with you on
two occasions with reference to the City's risk retention
program. As I have stated previously, while the City stands
to save considerable money through this arrangement, the
exact amount cannot be arrived at by simply subtracting
the cost of premiums from those funds appropriated.
In addition to premium costs, settlement awards, and
claims, the City must now provide certain functions that
would normally be provided in the premium cost by the
carrier. In this instance, those costs are: defense
council and secretarial staff, adjusting services, and
most important, a Safety Officer, who can provide the safety
policy function for the City. There are equipment needs
($2,500.00), supplies ($1,000.00), and contractual services
($15,100.00), such as local mileage, instruction, and
transcribing services which are also necessary costs of
such a program.
The Ordinance I've submitted with this letter appropriates
$68,873.00 to provide the funding for the items I have
previously mentioned. I feel this is a realistic estimate,
and hope that you will pass it in its entirety.
If questions arise, please feel free to contact myself or
Mr. Vance.
Sincerely,
G,
