CTSI projects stable property renewals; law‑enforcement liability still a hard market

Elbert County Board of County Commissioners · August 13, 2026

Summary

CTSI told commissioners that property markets have shown some relief and CHP is likely to see a single-digit increase for 2027, while law-enforcement liability and casualty coverage remain constrained with higher costs; staff will solicit market responses before the October board meeting.

CTSI staff told the board that market conditions vary by line: property appears to be easing while law-enforcement liability and casualty risk are still in a hard market with limited capacity. Meredith said carriers typically will not provide final coverage terms until they are about 90 days from renewal and that CTSI plans to seek market responses and consider retention changes with their actuary.

The presenter cited recent contribution trends: the board heard that CHP's average annual pool increase over the past 10 years is roughly 6% and that the county experienced a 6.65% overall increase in the most recent year. Meredith said that after reviewing utilization and stop‑loss trends, the pool expects a single-digit increase for CHP in 2027 — a more favorable outlook compared with some commercial markets reporting mid‑teens increases.

"I think it's gonna be a good renewal for the for the members," Meredith said, describing negotiations with stop‑loss carriers and ongoing RFPs for ASO, stop‑loss, Rx and dental services. The presentation noted that staff will review market responses and retention options between August and the October CAP board meeting before presenting final budget and contribution recommendations to members.
