Council tables decision on naming city insurance broker until June 9
Summary
The council introduced Resolution 26-18 to designate Taylor and Associates as broker of record for the city’s property and casualty insurance with Continental Western Group, but voted to table the matter to allow competing proposals and to schedule a special meeting on June 9.
The Evanston City Council introduced Resolution 26‑18, a proposal to designate Taylor and Associates as broker of record for the city’s property and casualty insurance with Continental Western Group, then voted to table the item until June 9. The measure was introduced during the council’s regular meeting and staff said the current agent is based in Rock Springs after a recent retirement and had asked that the city seek proposals before changing brokers.
Councilor Harris read the corrected resolution title and noted the city packet included an agreement. A staff member said the current local contact had retired, the account had been transferred to Rock Springs, and the local broker—Alexis Lam of Tegler and Associates—had asked that the council solicit proposals before switching. The council agreed to hold a special meeting on June 9 for further consideration.
A motion to table the resolution until June 9 was moved and seconded and passed without recorded opposition. Council members also directed staff to obtain the requested proposals and to advertise the special meeting.
What happens next: The resolution remains tabled. Staff will solicit proposals and the council will revisit the broker-of-record designation at the special meeting scheduled for June 9.
