NEW POSITION PRIMARY INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR HOUSING AUTHORITY ACTIVITY A report dated November 27, 1978 and written by Karen Adams, Risk Management, recommendi ng that the Santa Ana Hous i ng Authority approve the purchase of primary liability insurance from the Great American Insurance Company for $3,145 and extend authority to have such coverage bound im- mediately by the City's insurance broker, Alexander & Alexander was approved on the carried 5:0 motion of Commissioner Yamamoto, seconded by Commissioner Brandt. The City of Santa Ana established a self-insurance program for its public liability in 1976 and currently maintains this program at a self-insured retention of $500,000. The Housing Authority of the City of Santa Ana is named insured under this policy and is afforded the comprehensive coverage provided by it. The Housing Authority did not have the financial capacity necessary to participate in the self-insured aspects of the City's liability program. Therefore, it was felt that the procurement of primary comprehensive general and automobile liability insurance (coverage from $0 to $500,000) was indicated as being the most economically feasible way for the Housing Authority to maintain adequate liability protection in the otherwise self-insured first layer of the overall program. Of the seven companies contacted, three submitted quotations: Great American Insurance Company $3,145.00 Hartford Insurance Company $3,153.00 Home Insurance Company $3,215.00 It was recommended that the lowest of the three quotations, Great American Insurance Company, be accepted. The purchase of such insurance would safeguard against the adverse fiscal effects that could be suffered in the event a large unanticipated claim was levied against the Housing Authority. ADJOURN~1ENT At 2:13 p.m., the meeting was adjourned on the unanimously carried 5:0 motion of Com- missioner Evans, seconded by Commissioner Garthe. m.~ c ¿j~- Mary C. elmont Recordl g Secretary
