Council approves insurance renewal after agent outlines 11.11% premium increase
Summary
EMC Insurance presented a $129,931 renewal for city coverage (11.11% increase); the agent said the rise was driven largely by a higher experience modification and property valuation changes; council approved the renewal and authorized the city administrator to sign.
Curtis, the city's insurance agent, presented EMC Insurance’s renewal package totaling $129,931, an 11.11% increase from the previous period. He told the council the principal driver was an increase in the city’s experience-modification factor (loss history), along with a roughly $250,000 increase in property values that affected premium pricing.
Curtis explained that while many base-rate categories were flat or down, workers’ compensation and law-enforcement/public-officials liability experienced increases tied to broader claim trends. The council moved, seconded and approved the renewal and authorized the city administrator to sign the renewal documents.
Why it matters: Insurance premiums are a recurring operating cost and the increase affects the city’s FY budget outlook.
Quote: "The renewal is $129,931. It's 11.11%." the agent said during his presentation.
