TO: Commissioner MR. Williams,
I am asking to full consideration on my property taxes penalty and interest on location
3408 Deans Bridge Rd Augusta, GA 30906.
ln last 20 years, I have never been late on my property taxes since I owned this property.
I have been going through cancer chemo therapy therefore, I have missed my dead line.
I also notice the mailing address has wrong address as well. (This is not an excuse)
Mrs. Dianne Howard from Tax Commissioner advise me to submit the letter to you.
Please be consider for me on this matter.
Thank you and have a blessed day.
Sincerely: Cgcilia Urchc-x.rld.-

Notice
The purpose of this summary is to provide a brief description of the key coverages and to
highlight selected information. It is not intended to completely identify all of the
coverages and exclusions that are part of your program. The actual policy forms are the
only complete representation of exclusions and limitation and constitute the legal
contract between you and the insurance company. Please read your policies for specific
details of coverages.
Audit
Your policy is subject to audit by the insurance company, at which time, new operations
may be noted and appropriate premium adjustments made. To make sure that your
policy is properly written to provide the coverage you expect, you should always let us
know of any new business activities you have made or are planning. In addition, your
liability, auto, and workers compensation insurance policies are based upon estimates of
annual sales and payrolls. An audit of these policies may result in return or additional
premiums.
Contingent Profit Sharing and Supplemental Compensation Notice
Pritchard & Jerden has supplemental compensation arrangements with some insurance
companies. These compensation arrangements are company specific and vary by
company. We may receive additional compensation from these arrangements. These
arrangements are typically based on growth, profitability and retention.
The additional compensation payable under these arrangements represents less than 1%
of Pritchard & Jerden’s written premium. We are able to provide more specific
information at an individual client’s request.
Finance Committee Meeting

2020 Renewal of Excess Worker Compensation Insurance
Department:Finance/Risk Managment
Presenter:Joe Crozier/Judy Blackstone
Caption:Approve Excess Workers’ Compensation Insurance with Safety
National Casualty with statutory limits and a $750,000 Self
Insured Retention (SIR – otherwise known as the deductible) to
cover all positions for a premium of $380,979.
Background:Augusta is self-insured for all Worker's Compensation Claims.
By purchasing an excess claims policy, exposure is limited to
payment of claims below that amount. Simply stated, each
worker’s compensation claim has the potential cost of $750,000
to the government before the excess coverage policy takes
effect.
Analysis:Past claim experience, current claim exposure, and potential
future cost were considered. It was determined that an SIR of
$750,000 is appropriate for our level of risk. Corvel, our
Workers’ Compensation Third Party Administrator, was
requested to obtain quotes from A or A+ rated companies that
offer this type policy. Corvel received the following quotes from
the following companies: Safety National Casualty XL
Insurance Chubb Global Casualty The following companies
declined to provide an offer: Synergy Insurance Company
Sompo Japan Insurance Company of America Prosight Specialty
Insurance
Financial Impact:Maintaining the SIR of $750,000 offers the greatest value (cost
of premium relative to expected claim exposure) to Augusta-
Richmond County government.
Alternatives:1) Increase level of coverage threshold to $1,000,000 per claim
(increasing out of pocket cost by $250,000 per claim, or 2) Drop
coverage accepting full exposure/cost for any catastrophic job
related injury. 3) Decrease SIR in exchange for significantly
higher premium
Recommendation:Approve coverage with Safety National Casualty (lowest
premium quote) with SIR of $750,000 for all positions with
Statutory Limit for a deposit premium of $380,979.

Approve 2020 Augusta Commercial Property Insurance Renewal
Department:Finance
Presenter:Joe Crozier
Caption:Request to approve Augusta Commercial Property Insurance
coverage for 2020 offered through Affiliated FM, current carrier,
for a premium of $475,000 for full blanket coverage and limited
flood coverage in flood prone areas.
Background:Augusta has elected to use Property Insurance Broker Services
and carry commercial property insurance on its properties since
consolidation. The Risk Management Office staff inspects all
Augusta properties annually and works with insurance company
engineers in helping to reduce risk of property loss to Augusta.
Analysis:Dawson & Taylor Insurance Company seek annual quotes from
the insurance market for "all risks" coverage on buildings and
contents. Please see attachments for quote summary and list of
declinations. Several insurers did not qualify or declined to
quote coverage. Quotes are obtained from companies with A or
better rating. Affiliated FM is the low bidder and is providing
the greatest level of coverage for the exposure. Current coverage
carries a $50,000 deductible per occurrence except for flood and
earthquake.
Financial Impact:A premium for blanket coverage is being offered on total
property values of $702,482,863 for $475,000 with a $50,000
deductible. Fort Gordon Water System – Substantiated values
will be added – Premiums will be adjusted. The quote from
Affiliated FM includes flood coverage.
Alternatives:Drop coverage and retain risk, 2. Reduce premiums by only
insuring those properties representing the largest losses should
an event damage the structures (Municipal Building, Law
Enforcement Center, Judicial Center, RCCI, etc.)
Recommendation:Approve Commercial Property Insurance coverage renewal for
2020 through Affiliated FM for a premium of $475,000 which
includes flood coverage and Boiler & Maintenance coverage.

Award of RFP 20-123 Worker Compensation TPA
Department:Finance/Risk Managment
Presenter:Joe Crozier/Judy Blackstone
Caption:Motion to approve award of RFP 20-123, Worker Compensation
Third Party Administration (TPA) to Corvel Corporation.
Background:The contract for TPA for Worker Compensation is due for
renewal in year 2020. The Procurement Department advertiised
the RFP on behalf of Risk Management and received 10 bids: 8
bids met Procurement requirements and were evaluated. The 4
top scoring respondants provided presentations to Procurement
and the Evaluation Committee. Corvel received the highest score
and is hereby recommended for award of the bid.
Analysis:Corvel is the current provider of TPA services for Augusta GA.
Risk Management has found Corvel Corporation to be a great
partner in providing excellent service to employees of Augusta,
GA. CorVel offers Augusta a 24/7 Nurse Triage call center at no
additional cost to Augusta. Normal charge per call is $125.00.
Augusta’s employees have called CorVel’s 24/7 nurse line 1,354
times since 2/2015. Direct savings of $169,250.00, (1,354 calls x
normal fee of $125.00/call) have benefited Augusta.
Additionally, 39% of all calls to Corvel’s 24/7 nurse line have
resulted in First Aid/Self Care avoiding a medical only or lost
time claim. Cornel offers many features that offer a more
proactive approach to reducing worker's compensation claims
and premiums and returning Augusta employees to work as
quickly as possible.
Financial Impact:Year One $75,000 Year Two $80,000 Year Three $85,000
Alternatives:Consider another provider with a lower score
Recommendation:Award RFP 20-123, contract for Workers Compensation Third
Party Administrator services to Corvel Corporation.
