Recommendation on 2009 Insurance Renewal |
The Village's Risk Management Consultant, Mike Nugent, will update the Finance |
Committee on the upcoming 2009 Risk Management and Insurance Renewal Program. |
Information from Mr. Nugent is attached. |
The Village's risk management consultant, Mike Nugent, reviewed a spreadsheet |
analyzing the actual costs of the Village's 2007 insurance program with the year-end |
estimates of the 2008 insurance program and the proposed budget for the 2009 |
insurance renewal. Mr. Nugent explained that an RFP was done last year which |
allowed the Village to experience a more cost efficient program for 2008. Mr. Nugent |
further explained that the favorable program costs from 2008 along with the current |
financial crisis will actually result in even lower costs for the 2009 insurance renewal. In |
addition, Mr. Nugent stated that he saw no reason not to renew with AIG Lexington. He |
further stated that he expects to receive a proposal within the next two weeks. |
Tim Sexton then reviewed the Claim Analysis report for 2003 through 2008 to-date as |
well as the chart breaking out the total dollars incurred by department for Worker's |
Compensation for 2003 through 2008 to-date. Discussion followed. |
Identity Theft Program and Prevention Policy |
Recommendation to adopt the Identity Theft and Prevention Policy. |
Tim Sexton reviewed the memo from Village Attorney Tom Bayer regarding the need for |
an Identity Theft Program and Prevention Policy as well as why the Village is required to |
have one in place. Mr. Sexton explained that the Village is already following the |
procedures outlined in the policy and that he was seeking approval from the Committee |
to recommend the resolution to adopt the Policy to the Village Board. |
It was moved by Hogan, seconded by Murphy, that this matter be recommended |
to the Board of Trustees for approval. The motion carried by a voice vote |
Banking Services |
Staff will review the memo on Banking Services. Motion to recommend to the Village |
Board of Trustees the negotiation of a one year extension with our current banking |
services provider, MB Financial. |
together an RFP for banking services that was to go out at the end of October. |
However, due to the current financial crisis in the banking industry, he felt that now was |
not the best time to switch banks and requested the Committee's approval to |
recommend the Village negotiate a one-year extension with the current banking |
provider, MB Financial. Discussion followed regarding whether a one-year extension |
was long enough, with the end result being a proposal to recommend a two-year |
extension of the current contract with MB Financial, with no increase in fees. |
It was moved by Murphy, seconded by Ware, that this matter be recommended |
to the Board of Trustees for approval as amended. The motion carried by a voice |
vote |
FYE 2009 Financial Report for the period ending 9/30/08. (Information) |
Tim Sexton reviewed the 9/30/08 Financial Report with the Committee. Discussion |
followed regarding the revenue shortfalls that the Village is experiencing. In addition, |
Trustee Soderstrom explained that staff withdrew the Financial Policy Amendment that |
was brought to the Committee at the last meeting, noting that the Village would instead |
deal with revenue shortfalls on a fiscal year basis rather than through a policy |
amendment. |
The next meeting is dependent on the timing of the receipt of the proposal for the 2009 |
insurance renewal. Meeting will be either the week of Thanksgiving or the following |
week. Mr. Sexton advised Committee members that they would be contacted within the |
next two weeks to schedule the next meeting. |
It was moved by Ware, seconded by Wellehan, to adjourn at 7:45 p.m. The |
