More specifically, rather than the City's insurance carrier covering the costs of employee related work injuries, the City would cover the expenses (self- insured) for the first $500,000 of each occurrence, with the insurance policy covering costs in excess of $500,000 resulting in potential savings of $222,896 per fiscal year. The following was unanimously agreed upon and approved for implementation: 1. Approval of the implementation of an SIR 2. Contracting with a Third Party Administrator (TPA) to manage the City's Workers' Compensation claims under an SIR policy 3. Setting a reserve target equal to the SIR amount of $500,000 to be achieved through the cost savings realized by the implementation of the self- insured policy 4. Approval of a City Council resolution authorizing application to the Director of Industrial Relations, State of California, for a Certificate of Consent to Self Insure Workers' Compensation Liabilities ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was officially adjourned at 4:27 p.m. 5 -zzL`� Date Jennife nnessy Finance Director
