2019-2020 Insurance Premium
Rationale:
The building committee met with our insurance carrier. Discussion was held on the coverage that the district receives. During that discussion, it became apparent that we maybe need to look at contents of a couple buildings, but we felt comfortable with the coverage overall.
We saved around $20,000 due to our workman comp number. Our worker comp number is at .88 as opposed to 1.44. This number is established by a national group. Anything below 1 is the goal.1.00 is your base.
Recommended Motion(s):
Motion by Board Member #1 Motion to approve the insurance bid form Gregory's Insurance as presented at a cost of $103,694 Seconded by Board Member #2 Motion carried. |
