A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN LUIS
OBISPO, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING EXECUTION OF AGREEMENT
FOR PARTICIPATION IN THE CALIFORNIA JOINT POWERS
INSURANCE AUTHORITY'S EXCESS INSURANCE PROGRAM
WHEREAS, the City of San Luis Obispo became a member of the California Joint Powers
Insurance Authority (CJPIA) in 2003 for participation in the liability primary insurance program;
and
WHEREAS, the CJPIA has developed a separate Excess Insurance Program (EIP) wherein
members may select a Self -Insured Retention (SIR) level which best fits claim experience; and

indicates moving to the EIP with an SIR of $500,000 could potentially reduce insurance costs
when compared to remaining in the primary insurance program; and
WHEREAS, the City of San Luis Obispo's current Memorandum of Coverage delegates
claim settlement authority to CJPIA and the EIP allows an agency to continue to delegate claim
settlement and the City desires to do so;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Council of the City of San Luis Obispo as
follows:
SECTION 1. The Council authorizes the City Manager to execute a Memorandum of
Coverage with CJPIA for participation in the liability EIP with an SIR of $500,000 and authorizes
continued delegation of claim settlement authority to the CJPIA. Authorize the City Manager to
execute an agreement with Carl Warren & Company in a form subject to the approval of the City
Attorney for third party administration services for liability insurance program, any other
documents required for participation in the liability EIP, and for the City Manager to act as the
City's "Authorized Representative" for compliance with "Medicare, Medicaid, SCHIP Extension
Act 2007" Section 111.
SECTION 2. The Director of Finance shall adjust the appropriate accounts to ensure claim
settlement amounts within the SIR are available.
