ITEM BACKGROUND: The purpose of the agenda item is to purchase general and professional liability coverage for Bayshore Manor. The County's primary liability policy (through the Florida League of Cities) does not cover medical services, which are offered at Bayshore through nursing assistants. The policy recommended for approval comes from Lloyds of London, with no fees, at an annual premium of$14,750.00 with a$2,500 deductible SIR. The current policy expires on 4/30/2021. For the past two years, the policy has been provided by American Alternative Insurance Corporation. The renewal presented several challenges. Insurers are becoming reluctant to provide insurance for ALF's. The ones that are still offering the insurance are focusing on the larger facilities. The current insurance carrier lost its reinsurance and withdrew from the Assisted Living Facility ("ALF") market. The County's agent for this policy, Gallagher submitted the County's account to 13 different insurers (not including American Alternative) before it was finally able to obtain a quote from Lloyd's of London insurance which provides General and Professional Liability and Wrongful Acts/Vicarious Liability coverage as required for the County to maintain a State of Florida Assisted Living Facility License and also to cover claims alleging sexual and/or physical abuse at Bayshore Manor.. The County's consultant's letter recommending the Lloyd's of London policy is attached. PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: The BOCC approved renewal of the prior equivalent Colony Insurance Co.., insurance policy on 4/16/14, 4/15/15, 4/10/16 and 4/12/17.

CONTRACT/AGREEMENT CHANGES: Packet Pg.4272 U.1 Provides an annual policy for coverage period effective 4/30/21 to 4/30 2022. Premium of $14,750.00 and no fees represents an increase of$6,792.00 (85%) from the prior renewal of this policy. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval to purchase the General and Professional Liability Insurance policy with Lloyd's of London for Bayshore Manor, and for the Risk Administrator to sign all necessary forms.

Arthur J. Gallagher serves as the County's insurance agent for this coverage. 0 Currently,American Alternative Insurance Company is providing the coverage with a Per Occurrence CL limits of$1 million and a$3 million Annual Aggregate. American Alternative enjoys a favorable rating from the A.M.Best Company,the leading evaluator of insurance company operations. Coverage is provided on a"Claims Made"basis with a Retroactive Date of April 16,2004 for the General Liability coverage and a Retroactive Date of April 16,2003 for the Professional Liability coverage. Claims Made policies provide coverage for claims that occur after the Retroactive Date and are first reported to the insurer during the policy period. This compares to policies written on an"Occurrence"basis that provides coverage for claims that occur during the policy period and do not contain a Retroactive Date. The annual premium of the expiring policy is$7,958. 0 This renewal has presented several challenges. First,American Alternative lost their reinsurance and withdrew from the ALF market. In addition, Gallagher submitted the County's account to 13 different insurers(not including American Alternative). Gallagher was unable to obtain a proposal from any of these insurers as well. It appears as if insurers are becoming reluctant to provide insurance for ALFs. Those that are still offering the insurance are focusing on the larger facilities. r- Late on April 61h Gallagher notified the County that they have obtained and"Indication''that could be a bound subject to the completion of the insurer's applications and providing them with other information 0) they requested. On April 81h Gallagher submitted a formal proposal. Following is an overview of the E proposal. c ➢ Insurer: Lloyds of London ➢ Policy Period: April 30,2021 to April 30,2022 ➢ Coverages: General Liability and Professional Liability. This is consistent with the current policy. ➢ Limits: $1,000,000 per occurrence and a$3 million Annual Aggregate. This is consistent with the current policy. ➢ Deductibles: $2,500 per claim for both General Liability and Professional Liability claims. The current policy does not currently impose a deductible for General Liability claims but does impose a$2,500 deductible for Professional Liability claims. Packet Pg.4274 U.1.a ➢ Proposed Annual Premium: $14,750.00. This represents an increase of$6,792 (85%). While working with Gallagher in finalizing the above proposal one of the other agents(Carmona Insurance Group)submitted a proposal from the National Assisted Living Risk Retention Group(NALRRG) While the proposed premium of$11,312.00 is slightly lower than the premium being proposed by Lloyds,the CL financial strength of the NALRPG is limited. As of 12/30/20 they had a Policy Surplus(Net Worth)of only $5,841,135. The limited Surplus could impact the ability for the NALRPG to timely honor its claims. It is recommended that this option be deleted from further consideration. It is believed that the terms and conditions of the coverages being proposed by Lloyds are comparable to c the current coverages being provided by American Alternative. Lloyds also offered several options to consider. None were viewed as being significant and it is recommended that they be eliminated from consideration. While the percentage increase in the renewal premium is extremely high,the dollar amount is relatively low. It is recommended that the County renew its General Liability and Professional Liability coverage for An Bayshore Manor for the policy period of April 30,2021 to April 30,2022 with Lloyds of London as being proposed by Arthur J. Gallagher. 76 With the ALF market shrinking so much it is recommended that we begin the renewal process for Bayshore W Manor early next year in an attempt to eliminate the challenges we had on this renewal.
