Summary of your 12/1/25 Property/Casualty insurance renewal
Expiring Renewal Difference (MICA 5/1/17)
ICRMT Package $414,041 $460,570 +46,529(+11%)
IPRF Work Comp $234,904 $303,471 +68,566(29%)
Total $648,946 $764,041 +115,095(+18%) ($513,513)
• We continue to see pricing pressure (+20%) in municipal insurance from Auto Liability &
Law Enforcement Liability due to increased claims. Property pricing is stabilizing after 2-3
years of increases.
• The Workers' Compensation premium increase of 29% is due to an increase in payroll
from $7,395,763 to $7,649,460 (+253,697) and 16 claims in 2023 totaling$313,097, 10
claims in 2024 totaling$390,601 &8 claims in 2025 totaling $66,412.
• The property coverage amount was increased from $129,897,453 to $134,215,403
(+4,317,950) to allow for increased cost of construction and the addition of the Opera
House Plaza. There is still no wind/hail deductible on the Property coverage.
• Equipment coverage was increased from $962,705 to $1,176,778 (+214,073) for a new
CAT backhoe and 2 new snowplows.
• Added 9 new Auto units since the last renewal with a value of$1,197,071.
• Cyber Liability policy with $1,000,000 limit was renewed 1/17/25 at $16,440 annual.
• We are providing quarterly claims review so the city is informed on all claims.
• You are benefiting from being a member of public entity risk pools. The risk pool concept
spreads the exposure over all members which reduces the premium increases in bad
years for individual members. Our Work Comp claims history for the last 3-5 years would
have caused us to be cancelled by a traditional insurance company 12/1/23.
• Both our insurance companies are providing significant grants and loss prevention
assistance to the City. The IL Public Risk Fund safety grant for 2025 was $8,818 and IL
Counties Risk Management Trust provided a $10,000 grant toward the purchase of body
cameras for police in 2023. Our goal is to provide long-term insurance cost control
through training and loss prevention strategies.
• OPTION: Reduce your Excess Liability limit from $15M to $10M and save $34,449.
• OPTION: Increase Property deductible from $10,000 to $25,000 and save $10,742.
We believe we have excellent working relationships with the city and hope you agree.
Thank you for supporting our local business & for the opportunity to provide this service.
WE APPRECIATE IT!

Loss Analysis 1/1/2020—5/15/2025
During this time, there have been 87 claims with a total incurred of$1,040,623. The following is a
breakdown of claims per year:
• 2025: 4 claims at $42,335 total incurred.
• 2024: 10 claims at $575,202 total incurred.
• 2023: 15 claims at $304,850 total incurred.
• 2022: 18 claims at $66,573 total incurred.
• 2021: 20 claims at $23,566 total incurred.
• 2020: 20 claims at $28,098 total incurred.
The loss drivers for the claims include 21 lifting incidents, 11 Suspect/ inmate incidents, and 9 Slip
Trip and Fall incidents.
Verify that the root cause of each injury is identified, and the corrective measure deployed to the
workgroups/organization. Review your Slip, trip, fall, Suspect/ Inmate, and safe lifting policies.
Check and compare them against the IPRF Loss Control Manual to identify any needed areas for
policy development. Make the necessary modifications and retrain all employees on the policies.
Ensure findings/corrective measures from your accident investigations are being added to the
appropriate safety program and subsequent training. Lastly, the Slip, trip, fall, Suspect/ Inmate,
and safe lifting training for staff should be completed at least quarterly, more often if needed.
Should you have any questions regarding specific claims, please feel free to contact your Claims
Advocate at (888) 532-6981.
Conclusion/ Next Steps
As we discussed the next steps for your safety program include:
• There is a recommendation from 2024 that is still open. Please see the attached Loss
Control Recommendation Form. Please fill it out and return with a date of completion or
date when the recommendation will be completed.
• The Gap documents have been returned and analyzed. The next step in the process is
developing a method to address each "No" answer and help change it to a "Yes" to help
improve your safety culture, programs, and loss history.
• It is recommended that Safety committees meet at least monthly as a best practice.
Continue utilizing your Safety Committee to review incidents and losses and to help
supervisors and managers establish corrective actions. Ensure all affected employees are
trained in corrective actions from all incidents and losses.
• The Safety Committee should also start developing reporting and tracking of near
misses. Attached is a great article on how and why to do this. Using the Safety Pyramid to
Measure What Matters - KPA
• Due to Slip Trip and Fall and Lifting incidents being two of your organization's top loss
drivers it is recommended that the frequency of slip/trip/fall and lifting training be
increased too at least quarterly.
• Consider requiring the use of non-slip footwear devices to reduce the injuries from falls on
ice/snow for employees who work outside.
