Wes Story, a local agent with Assured Partners, requested an opportunity to quote insurance coverage for the city’s property, liability, and workers compensation. The premium presented for fiscal year July 1, 2016-June 30, 2017 was $157,839.00 with coverage provided through Travelers Public Sector Services. The renewal rate provided by KLC was $176,919.70. It was noted that the rates with KLC had gone up largely due to workers compensation claims over the past two years. It was also noted that KLC provides services valued at over $22,590 at no additional charge to the city as well as other services that have not been assigned a dollar amount. KLC has a long standing relationship with the city having provided insurance coverage for over twenty-five years. All council members expressed satisfaction with the services provided by KLC. After an intense discussion, Councilman Hurst moved to approve the renewal rates with KLC. Councilwoman Moore seconded the motion. Council voted as follows: Hurst-yes, Moore-yes, Manning-yes, Sparks-yes, Story-yes, and Alexander-yes. Motion carried.
