EXPLANATION:
In September, 2010, the City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into a one year agreement
with CMA for performance of the full range of risk services including liability claims adjusting and risk
management services. Consistent with the terms of the agreement, staff wishes to exercise the ability to
extend the agreement under the same terms and conditions. After one year, the City finds that utilizing
contracted services in lieu of a full-time staff person continues to provide budgetary savings. The
relationship also meets the service needs of the organization. CMA, with its technical knowledge and
experience, is in the process of assisting staff in updating policies and practices; and in developing
efficiency measures. To severe the relationship at this time would result in a significant set back in these
efforts.
