DATE'. June 25, 19 91
SUBJECT: Authorize Kensington Fire Protection District to Join the
County' s Self-insured Workers' Compensation Program
SPECIFIC REQUEST S( OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize Chairman, Board of Supervisors, to accept Kensington Fire
Protection District into the County' s Self-insured Workers' Compensation
Program effective July 1, 1991 .
BACKGROUND:
On June 27, 1989, the Board of Supervisors accepted Kensington Fire
Protection District to participate in the County Fire Protection Districts'
Public Liability and Property Damage Self-Insurance Programs.
Kensington Fire Protection District has been insured for workers'
compensation through the State Compensation Insurance Fund for many years.
Their loss history has been very favorable except for two recent large
claims. The State. Compensation Insurance. Fund announced the annual premium
will be increased from $59,000 for 1990/91 to approximately $110,000 for
the 1991-92 fiscal year. Kensington' s premiums are expected to remain high
for a minimum of three years due to the experience modification adjustment.
Kensington has requested authorization to join the County' s Self-insured
Workers' Compensation Program because their premiums will be significantly
lower and they are impressed with the County' s in-house claims handling and
loss prevention programs.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Although there is an exposure to loss, Kensington' s. loss history has
historically been very favorable and should be. a good addition to the
County' s Program. Also, the County' s Workers' Compensation trust fund will
receive additional revenues.
Kensington Fire Protection District will save monies which would have come
from the Augmentation Fund. The County' s charge to the District for the
fiscal year 1991-92 will be approximately one-half what would be charged by
the State Compensation Insurance Fund..
