Boulder City approves FY26 Pool Pack insurance renewal as council cites risk-management benefits
Summary
The Boulder City Council unanimously approved a Pool Pack insurance renewal and resolution after hearing that the city's participation in Pool Pack programs and an enterprise risk award helped limit a 1.2% premium increase.
The Boulder City Council voted unanimously June 24 to approve a resolution to renew its membership and FY26 premium with the Nevada Public Agency Insurance Pool, known as Pool Pack, after staff and the pool’s risk manager described how the program’s services reduce exposure.
Paul Sikora, the city’s purchasing and risk manager, introduced Jared Hickman of Pool Pack, who told council the pool is a member-owned nonprofit that provides risk-management services and grants. Hickman said Boulder City completed the pool’s Enterprise Risk Management Excellence Program and received an award (noted in materials as $24,750), which the city can apply toward risk-management projects.
"We were out here in October…Boulder City completed that in October," Jared Hickman said, describing the enterprise program and the services Pool Pack provides, including aquatic facility assessments, SDS management systems and cybersecurity reviews. Hickman said some training is online while other trainings are conducted in person.
Hickman said the renewal represents a modest increase, "representing a 1.2 increase over last year," and noted that Boulder City’s renewal fell below the poolwide property-and-casualty increase. Council members emphasized that the program’s work — from safety assessments to training — helps protect the community and can reduce the risk of costly claims.
Councilman Walton moved to approve "resolution 7009 9 1" as read in the meeting materials; Councilwoman Booth seconded. After brief remarks about the program’s community-protection value, the council voted unanimously to approve the resolution.
The council meeting packet lists the renewal amount in the materials; the transcript contains inconsistent numeric readings of that figure (see clarifying details). City staff said Pool Pack can provide grant support and follow-up meetings after assessments to prioritize high- and medium-risk items.
The resolution approval completes the council’s action on the Pool Pack FY26 renewal; staff will continue work with Pool Pack on follow-ups such as aquatic assessments and training scheduling.
