To: Phillip Oates, City Manager
From: Kirsten Vesel, Assistant to the City Manager
Agenda Item: Participating in the 2010 AMLJIA Loss Control Incentive
Program
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
The City of Seward is a member of the Alaska Municipal League Joint Insurance Association
( AMLJIA). AMLJIA provides comprehensive risk management assistance and provides workers'
compensation, liability and property coverage for the City of Seward. AMLJIA developed the Loss
Control Incentive Program to help reduce member losses individually and pool wide. AMLJIA will
provide all written program material necessary and offer assistance to participants. Pool members
that participate in the Loss Control Incentive Program and complete the required activities will have
the opportunity to earn a discount of up to Five Percent (5 %) on our contribution.
It is the City of Seward's policy to provide a safe environment for its employees, citizens, and the
visiting public. In order to qualify for this Loss Control Incentive Program the City must do the
following:
1. Provide tracking logs to document all safety activities.
2. Pass a resolution annually electing to participate in this program.
3. Provide reports and inspections timely and on a semiannual basis.
4. Engage an active Safety Committee to include agendas, notes, specific topics and minutes.
5. Provide model safety plans and training.
6. Provide annual, required safety training.
The City has been actively engaged to complete the above requirement to qualify for this Program in
2010. In 2009, the City invited a volunteer OSHA inspector to provide a thorough "self-inspection"
as another critical component of this Program. The OSHA inspection and the approval of this
resolution are two critical steps to complete before we can qualify for this Program.
INTENT:
To pass a resolution to participate in the 2010 AMLJIA Loss Control Incentive Program.
CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST:
Where applicable, this resolution is consistent with the Seward City Code, Charter, Comprehensive
Plans, Land Use Plans, Strategic Plan and City Council Rules of Procedures.

FISCAL NOTE:
