SUMMARY 
A Resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into a service agreement with Midwest Employers Casualty Company to provide Excess Workers' Compensation Insurance services for the period of 7/1/2016 through 7/1/2018 at a total cost of $90,606 ($45,303 per year).
BUDGETARY CONSIDERATIONS
Renewal of insurance is a budgeted expense and will be allocated to department budgets.  The cost of this renewal is $90,606 ($45,303 per year) and will be charged to account 642.08.9500.801.010.

HISTORY, BACKGROUND and  DISCUSSION
Midwest Employers Casualty Company (MECC) is our current carrier for Excess Workers' Compensation Insurance. The cost increased 3% this year over last due mostly to an increase in City of Battle Creek payroll. There were 5 other carriers that presented quotes for consideration, however MECC came in with the lowest bid. We have had one case this year that has exceeded the $600,000 retention level, and MECC has handled that claim to our satisfaction.
