There is no public comment for item 20. We can't recall. Yeah. Maybe my text isn't coming through, but my text says I'd like a staff report on this item, please. Oh, I'm sorry. Because earlier early you had said you only wanted to start for corporate 18 of the three. So that's why I thought you meant. I sent a text and then. You changed it. Okay, that's fine. So let me go ahead and get a short staff report. Joleen Richardson. Thank you. Honorable Mayor and City Council. So the city annually purchases excess municipal liability, airport liability, aircraft liability and whole insurance, underground. Storage, tank liability, drone insurance. And marine insurance. To cover exposures arising from the city operations. Coverage is being obtained through the city's casualty broker record life insurance services. This year's policy for Excess Municipal Liability Insurance will provide. Coverage limits. Of 40 million excess of a 10 million self-insurance retention for all city departments, including the police department, due to historical claims. Frequency and severity. The 2019 excess liability liabilities were challenging with a hardening of the market, lack of carrier capacity and increases. The city purchased $30 million in limits versus the historical 45 million. City risk management staff is working with the city's broker, Alliant Insurance. Services, to secure options to get the city closer to the. 45 million limit that has historically been purchased. Coverage for eminent domain, medical malpractise and pollution contamination will continue to be excluded from this policy. However, the policy does include 30 million in coverage for unfair unemployment practices, employee benefits, liability and public officials. Errors and omissions. The city also purchases airport liability coverage. The city received a price indication from the insurance carrier National Union Fire Insurance offering limits of 3 million and a premium not to exceed 93,000, which is an increase of approximately 1.5% from the expiring policy. This policy does not have a deductible and the city does not self-insure any of the airport risks covered under. Policy. The policy includes extended coverage for international domestic. Terror acts under the Terrorism Risk. Insurance Act. The policy also covers personal injury malpractise auto and employee employers liability. The city maintains limits of 50 million and aircraft liability and health insurance, also through National Union Fire Insurance, subject to. A 31,400 deductible. When the helicopters in motion on the police department's €2. Copters. The Renault premium price indication will not exceed 48,000, approximately a 21% increase. The city is also recommending drone coverage through the National Aviation Liability Program, and it costs not to exceed 5000 to protect the city from liability related to drone operations. Lastly, the city operates vessels that service the coast, including the port, the recommended purchase which will provide liability coverage on the boats and includes Jones Act coverage which limits of $10 million subject to a 2500 deductible. In addition, actual physical damage to the coverage boats. Is provided subject to varying. Deductibles depending upon the value of each boat. Renault premium price indicated will not exceed 2280 $1,000. If there's any questions to answer. Captain Pierce, can we go to vote now? If you have questions. Thank you so much. The reason why I asked for a staff report was we had a lot of conversations about the impacts of some of our lawsuits that we've had. And I just wanted to be able to understand it from the staff's perspective. If lawsuits that we've had over the lifetime of of being the city of Long Beach have impacted our premiums. And if Tom can speak to that just briefly and then we can go to a vote. Yes. In the past, probably five, ten years, just about every local government has seen an increase in claims. And so that does put a strain on the insurance market. We're not alone in this, but our general liability has gone up in terms of the price that you pay and also the insurance that you're able to receive. So we were able to get insurance this year, which is a very good thing, and we strongly recommend this policy in front of you. Any other questions, Councilwoman? That's all. Thank you. Okay. Rock over. District one. I'm District two. District three. District three. District four. All right. District five, I. District six. All right. District seven. I. District eight. District nine. All right. All right. Motion carries.
