Wauwatosa committee approves third‑party administrator contract for workers’ compensation
Summary
The Financial Affairs Committee unanimously approved a contract to use the Cities and Villages Municipal Insurance Company for third‑party administration of the city’s workers’ compensation claims, following staff recommendation that the vendor better fit municipal requirements.
The Wauwatosa City Financial Affairs Committee voted unanimously Tuesday to approve a contract with the Cities and Villages Municipal Insurance Company to provide third‑party administration (TPA) for the city’s workers’ compensation program.
The contract was presented by city staff noting the existing provider’s agreement expires at the end of the year. Director Mabeau said the city issued a request for proposals and received four responses; two lacked municipal experience, and staff narrowed the candidates to two experienced providers. After interviews and evaluation, staff recommended the Cities and Villages Municipal Insurance Company as the better fit, citing anticipated improvements in injury analysis and employee service.
The committee accepted the staff recommendation. Alder Morgan moved approval; Alder McCluth seconded. The chair called the vote: “Aye.” The motion passed, recorded in the meeting as passing 7 to 0. No public comments were raised during consideration.
Committee members asked no substantive follow‑ups about transition timing or service protocols beyond the staff presentation. The chair and staff indicated the contract documents were in the meeting packet and would be executed if approved.
The action shifts administration of claims handling to the selected TPA; staff said the contract includes legal compliance and day‑to‑day claim management but did not provide specific dollar figures for the new contract during the presentation.
