Four different Joint Powers Insurance Authorities for future City insurance coverage options were presented, including Public Risk Innovation, Solutions, and Management (PRISM), California Intergovernmental Risk Authority (CIRA), California Joint Powers Risk Management Authority (CJPRMA), and Public Entity Risk Management Authority (PERMA).
The recommendation by Staff was to proceed with further evaluation of PRISM due to coverage offerings, training and resource options, third party administrator options, and discretion regarding assigned attorneys.
City Council members asked questions, provided comments, and discussed the options with Staff.
The City Council members agreed with Staff's recommendation to proceed with further evaluation of PRISM at a $1 million deductible level. They expressed appreciation of not being locked in a long term membership with PRISM, providing the ability to leave the membership in the future if a different direction is decided in future years.
