Authorization To Renew Commercial Property Insurance Contract With Affiliated FM Insurance
end
PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
Authorize the Enterprise Finance and Information Services Director to renew the commercial property insurance contract with Affiliated FM Insurance Company (Affiliated FM).
SUMMARY
While the County is self-insured for general liability exposures, we purchase several types of commercial insurance (property, crime, and auto) where it makes financial sense. The property insurance policy is up for renewal on July 1, 2024.
Total property values increased from $577,019,612 to $610,727,404 since the last policy renewal. The increase reflects the addition of the Kaposia Library as well as a 4% increase to all property values to account for inflationary increases that would impact replacement costs to properties in the event of a loss.
Affiliated FM, the county's long-standing property insurer, issued an annual premium quote of $437,779. The quote reflects a $.004 per $100 increase from the 2023 renewal rate and a composite rate of $.072 per $100 of property value. The $.004 increase is a positive renewal quote given insurance industry reports indicate an average of 7.7 percent premium increases through Q1 2024.
The property insurance coverage includes a $25,000 per loss deductible as well as several other specified wind/hail deductibles and coverage limits listed by property location. Attachment A provides additional details on these.
With several capital improvement projects underway, the 2025 total insurable property values for the County will increase by approximately $45,542,000.
