I. REVIEW/DISCUSSION OF THE OWENS GROUP LIABILITY INSURANCE CONTRACT RENEWAL:
Human Resource Director, Bruce Mitchell, The Owens Group, Senior Account Manager explained that the City of North Chicago maintained self-assured retention of $100,000 and $500,000 for law officials. The City also carried property pollution, crime and cyber liability policies effective December 01, 2019. They also had a water plant claim years prior. The Insurance carrier was within a 7-year window. Over the last few years, the claims have reduced. Safety National, Insurance Carrier possibly would reduce the law enforcement retention from $500,000 to $100,000. There were more auto liability claims nationally and impacted the insured premiums. The retention amounts should be reduced next year and the premiums would remain the same.
Alderman Allen questioned if their company was tracking city functions. Mr. Mitchell stated was attending the safety meetings.
Bill Owens, President/CEO, commended the various departments for their lowered claims. It had reduced from $1,500,000 to estimated $250,000. The goal was $150,000 and continued safety culture. North Chicago was now considered as “the City of Best Practices.”
