Purpose

Resolution No. 156-18 requires an amendment to accept Wisconsin County Mutual Insurance Corporation (WCMIC) as the most cost effective proposal that also provides for adequate coverage for property insurance coverage for 2019 as outlined below.        

Background

On October 16, 2018, Resolution No.156-18 was adopted approving Liability, Workers Compensation and Property Coverage, Carriers and Premiums for 2019. Liberty Mutual was previously selected for property insurance coverage. However, it was determined that Wisconsin County Mutual Insurance Corporation (WCMIC) is the lowest cost for comparable property insurance coverage for Sauk County.  WCMIC utilizes a non-traditional method for calculation of vehicle comprehensive/collision coverage as part of the property insurance coverage. Other commercial carriers provide for similar line of coverage through liability insurance. Selecting WCMIC for property insurance coverage, inclusive of vehicle comp/collision equates to approximate savings of $48,223.

 

Resolution No. 156-18 requires an amendment to accept WCMIC as the most cost effective proposal that also provides for adequate coverage for property insurance coverage for 2019 as outlined below.
