Purpose

Approving liability, property, and self-insured workers compensation coverage for 2020.

 

Background

 

Due to the complexity and limited market options for all lines of coverage, the Personnel and Insurance Committee determined Wisconsin County Mutual Insurance Company (WCMIC) provides the most complete coverage for all insurance(s) for 2020, including liability, property, and self-insured

workers compensation. The Property & Insurance Committee and Personnel & Insurance Committee determined it to be in the best interest of the county to conduct the competitive bid process every three years. The last process was completed for a three year period beginning with 2019. Therefore, the Personnel and Insurance Committee recommends continuing with Wisconsin County Mutual Insurance Corporation (WCMIC) as the most cost effective proposal for liability, property, and self-insured workers compensation coverage for 2020 as outlined below.*
