Re: F-2002-04 - General Insurance Report
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Corporate Services Committee approve the 2002 Comprehensive Insurance Program
from Frank Cowan Co. Ltd. at an annual premium of $597,924 (2001 - $400,499) plus
applicable taxes.
2. That the Corporate Services Committee request a full review of the City's Risk Management
practices by the Frank Cowan Comoany Limited.
3. That staff investigate the establishment of a reserve fund for
BACKGROUND: future increases in insurance deductible amounts.
The City's comprehensive insurance program is reviewed annually for the purpose of updating and
revising the type and amount of insurance. The cost analysis schedule compares the annual premiums
for 2001 and 2002 and shows an increase of approximately 48% or $197,000. (Refer to Appendix I)
The annual review showed several reasons why the annual premium has significantly increased.
1)
Through Council's direction, staff has performed risk management practices to improve the
City's experience with liability claims. This direction came as a result of excessive claims
experience duringthe years 1998 and 1999. The most recent claims data reports asignificant
decrease in the claims received during the past year. Although many factors influenced the
number of claims, Frank Cowan Company has advised Staff that the annual premium reflects
the City's risk management practices. However, the annual premium is based on the City's
five-year average for liability claims. The impact of the former years of excessive claims has
caused the 2002 premiums to remain high. Frank Cowan Company has provided in the past
a comprehensive review of risk management practices. Staff recommends that this exercise
be undertaken during the coming year with the help of Frank Cowan Company.
2)
Frank Cowan Company has advised staff that the costs for insurance have increased due to the
significant changes in the insurance marketplace. Since the unfortunate events of September
1 ]th .......
, avallabthty of insurance providers has been significantly impacted. Insurance providers
Working Together to Serve Our Community
Clerk's Finance Human Resoumes · Infommtion Systems · Legal Planning & Development
January 21, 2002 - 2 - F-2002-04
are still working through the unprecedented claims arising out of those events and have
significantly adjusted their costing of insurance policies. The insurance marketplace has also
been impacted by the shifting of responsibilities of government services. The downloading of
services from provincial to regional and local municipal levels of government has caused a
shifting of liability. Increased insurance responsibilities and the associated costs for liability
claims, have caused some insurance providers to withdraw their exposure in the insurance
marketplace for municipalities. Although these significant changes have an immediate impact
on the City's premium, Frank Cowan Company advised that once the marketplace has adjusted
for the September 1 lt~ events, and the redistribution of liability exposure, the City's premium
should reduce.
3)
Staff requested from Frank Cowan Company a comparative analysis of changing the insurance
deductible on the City's policy to a higher level (from $10,000 up to $50,000). Frank Cowan
Company advised that the optional coverage available would result in savings to the
municipality. Through Staff's discussion with Frank Cowan Company, it was determined that
the optional coverage would require a substantial reserve fund in order to offset the increased
liability of the City for the higher deductible. Staff recommends that the deductible remain the
same for the coming year and begin the process of investigating a new reserve fund for
potential increase in the deductible in future years.
The City of Niagara Falls is not the only local municipality to have experienced a significant increase
to insurance premiums. Staffconducted a poll of the other Niagara regional municipalities and report
that increases in insurance premiums ranged from 18% in Welland to a high of 72% in Pelham.
Although the range of increases is significant, the average increase (including the Region of Niagara
at 39%), was 35%.
The Region of Niagara has approached the Municipal Treasurers in the investigation of developing
an insurance pool. The Region has been monitoring the progress of two new insurance pools;one in
the Region of Waterloo, the other in the Region of Durham. Although there is some interest in the
advantages of lower insurance costs as a result of pooling, Staff advises that there are significant issues
that :need to be addressed before the City considers insurance pooling. Municipal Treasurers have
advised the Region that at least two more years of monitoring study should continue before the pooling
concept be investigated further.
The City of Niagara Falls comprehensive insurance program has not been changed. Staff recommends
that the City maintain the existing insurance policies as they provide the necessary protection despite
the fact that the premium increase is substantial.

Dear Wayne:
With the support of our community, our ladies "masters" competitive team travelled to
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in August of this year to participate in the National Slo-Pitch games. We were
triumphant, and placed first in Canada in our division! It was an honour for us to be able to represent
not only the Niagara region in another Province, but also to compete with other teams fi.om across
Canada. It was well worth it!
We now have the opportunity to uphold our Nationai title by travelling to Caigary, Alberta in
August 2002. We are hopeful again in obtaining a donation fi.om The City of Niagara Falls. We will be
raising appmxiinately $12,000.00, (last year we received $1,000.00 fi.om The City) and we would
sincerely appreciate your assistance in this endeavour.
Although we realize that the Nationals are not taking place for many months, it is necessary for
us to begin making the numerous arrangements for our trip now, and knowing that we have your support
will undoubtedly make this another successful and rewarding trip.
I:['you require or would like more information regarding our plans, please do not hesitate to
contact me at 905-295-6412 (home # after 5:30pm), 905-356-4151 or 905-356-4154 (work #'s).
Thanking you in advance for your consideration regarding this matter. We are positive that the
2002 Nationals in Calgary will be as memorable and as victorious as the Nationals in Saskatoon were.
Yours Sincerely

Dear Mr. Campbell:
Tlae Niagara Falls City Council has a long history of understanding the importance of,
and supporting the sports teams of our young people in Niagara Falls. I am proud to
introduce one of our exceptional soccer teams that have been sponsored by the Riverside
Park Campground this year. This team is a Tier 1 Competitive, under 13 Boys Soccer
Team who has the opportunity to travel to compete with teams of their skill level in other
cities. We are very excited that our children are able to belong to a travelling team, as it
enables our children to develop their skill, learn about the importance of teamwork and
sportsmanship, and give them an opportunity to represent their city.
This team has the opportunity to travel to such cities as London, Kitchener, Mississauga,
a~ad even as far away as Owen Sound! We believe that in order to make this positive
experience for everyone, the team should travel together. As you can imagine, travel
expenses will be very high and we would like to try to offset the costs for parents by
respectfully requesting a donation of $1,000.00 from the City of Niagara Falls. This
donation is much needed and would be greatly appreciated by our young people who
play, and by the parents who support them.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at (905) 354-0543.
Respectfully,
('arm Pinizzotto
