Airport General Liability Insurance renewal- KW & Marathon
I have reviewed our current insurance policy and the renewal proposal from our carrier and have made some
coverage changes that will result in a very favorable renewal premium. This policy covers Key West and
Marathon. We have been carrying policy limits of $100,000,000 which jumped out at me as excessive and to
renew the policy at that level would have resulted in an 18% increase in premium. My research into past policy
files produced no explanation of how the $100 million figure was arrived at as being appropriate. I suspect that
this came about at a time when the insurance industry was experiencing a "soft" market and coverage was
relatively inexpensive for increased limits. It was apparently routinely renewed at that level and the limits were
not reviewed when the market hardened and coverage got expensive.
It is my opinion that a policy limit of $50,000,000 is appropriate given our sovereign immunity protections,
minimal exposure at the Marathon location, and a larger portion of the security issues being handled by the
federal government. I have presented my thoughts on this to our insurance consultant at Interisk and our broker
at Arthur J. Gallagher. All have concurred with my opinion.
We had also been carrying limits for off premises automobile liability of $50,000,000 which is extremely high
given our incidental exposure in this area.
The renewal proposal that I will be forwarding to the Board for approval will have Policy Limits of $50,000,000.
The off premises Automobile coverage limit will be reduced to $25,000,000 (this is still excessive, but no
additional premium reduction will result from lowering it further or eliminating it altogether).
As a result of these changes we have gone from looking at an 18% increase to a significant decrease. The
renewal premium will be $53,484. This is a premium reduction of $13,137 or 24% from last year. This also a
reduction of $25,005 or 46% lower than the proposed renewal at the higher levels. If you have any questions or
concerns about this issue, please call me at ext 4454.
