Action: City Clerk Hines read the title, and Acting Human Resources Manager Yael Londono reported noting a 9%increase primarily due to the addition of the Pier as well as an increase to payroll which affects our Workers Comp Insurance and the Liability Insurances. Public Speakers: Bob Hollander; Commissioner Scholl said the payroll went up 10% and the Comp went up 15%. Bob Hollander of Brown and Brown Insurance said two factors in the Workers Comp are payroll and rate. The only area that we really had an increase in was Worker's Compensation of about 8% based on the National Council of Compensation, and if you combine the rate increase and the payroll increase that came to about 20%. The other coverage was not an increase because the premium change was due to the increased exposure of more property values as well as payroll that affects the liability coverage. Mayor Edelcup said generally it was the increased payroll and primarily the property where we added the Pier. Vice Mayor Aelion moved and Commissioner Levin seconded a motion to approve the Resolution. Resolution No. 2013-2098 was adopted by a voice vote of 5-0 in favor. 5
