RESOLUTION NO. 11570 (2025 SERIES)
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN LUIS
OBISPO, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING AN INCREASE TO THE SELF-
INSURED RETENTION LIMIT WITHIN THE CALIFORNIA JOINT
POWERS INSURANCE AUTHORITY’S LIABILITY EXCESS INSURANCE
PROGRAM
WHEREAS, the City of San Luis Obispo became a member of the California Joint
Powers Insurance Authority (CJPIA) in 2004 for participation in the General Liability
Primary Insurance Program; and
WHEREAS, the City of San Luis Obispo entered CJPIA’s General Liability Excess
Protection Program (EPP) in FY 2016-17 with a Self-Insured Retention (SIR) level of
$500,000; and
WHEREAS, CJPIA’s EPP allows members to select an SIR that best fits their
claims experience and ability to appropriately self-insure; and
WHEREAS, increasing the City of San Luis Obispo’s SIR limit to $1,000,000 will
likely reduce insurance costs when compared to an SIR of $500,000; and

delegates claim settlement authority to CJPIA and the City desires for that to continue;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of San Luis
