BACKGROUND:

Traditionally, General Lines Insurance Agencies serving the County have been commission based. USI was selected by a 5-person review committee based on their qualifications and ability to service the County’s extensive insurance portfolio. The Agreement was amended for additional compensation by Board action last year in recognition of the expansion of the scope of work with additional lines of coverage added to benefit the County.

Insurance policies and renewals are negotiated on the County’s behalf, without commission at the retail level. Removal of the commission incentive from insurance premiums results in a significant savings to the County.

Funds are available in Cost Center 140835, Object Code 54501
