WHEREAS, with the assistance of its broker, the City solicited a quote for General Liability & Automobile, Property & Mobile Equipment, Airport Liability, and Workers' Compensation from the single public entity risk pool operating in Alaska; and, WHEREAS, Alaska Public Risk Alliance (APRA) provided the quote of $940,571 for General Liability & Automobile, Property & Mobile Equipment, Airport Liability, and Workers' Compensation; and, WHEREAS, ancillary policies will include marine and surety bonds; and, WHEREAS, in September 2024 the operating board of the Alaska Municipal League Joint Insurance Association (AMLJIA) and Alaska Public Entity Insurance (APEI) voted to merge into a single entity, APRA effective July 1, 2025; and, WHEREAS, the City participated in both the AMLIA and APEI at different times and the resulting merger into a single public entity risk pool resulted in the same quality of coverage as previously offered by both and enhanced services are expected; and, WHEREAS, the FY2026 plan premium represents a 12.35% increase from prior year driven by increased valuation of City facilities and an increase in covered payroll for workers' compensation; and, WHEREAS, the increase in premium was forecasted and FY2026 Budgeted amounts are sufficient to bind coverage; and, WHEREAS, the recommendation of the City's broker is to bind coverage with APRA based on the completeness and availability of the coverage and the value to the City of participation in a public entity risk pool; and, WHEREAS, maintaining quality and sufficient amounts of insurance coverage is in the best interest of the City and its residents. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA: Section 1.

Each year the City goes through a process of procuring its property, liability, workers' compensation, airport, and other ancillary insurance coverages. In the past year Alaska Municipal League Joint Insurance Association (AMLJIA) and Alaska Public Entity Insurance (APEI) merged into Alaska Public Risk Alliance (APRA) effective July 1, 2025. The resulting merger created a single public entity risk pool for municipalities and school district in the State of Alaska. The quality of coverage remains with very little difference in coverage terms. APRA is expected to provide expanded member benefits as a larger pool with the combined staff of the prior two entities. The plan premium represents a 12.35% increase from prior year driven by increased valuation of City facilities and an increase in covered payroll for worker's compensation. This increase in coverage was included in the FY2026 Budget. Ancillary policies include marine and surety bond coverage. The quote from APRA was for a total of $940,571. The Finance Department, with the assistance of the City's broker, determined that the rates and the insurance offered by APRA for FY2026 are in the best interest of the City and recommend binding coverage with APRA.
