Insurance
This division is responsible for the administration of the City’s Public Officials, Police and General Liability, Property, Boiler and Machinery, and Vehicle Insurance Programs. Through efforts toward reducing the city’s exposure in liability issues and insuring proper coverages are in place, this division provides a vital service to all city departments and citizens as a whole.
With property and structures valued in excess of $60 million, and the many exposures of liability faced in providing our services daily, constant attention must be given to insuring proper coverages are in place. Our goal is to make certain an efficient and effective claims management system for both city and individual claims, is readily accessible. Please contact us for more information on what we do or to speak to us about a claim.
