SUBJECT:
A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, APPROVING THE PURCHASE OF FLOOD
INSURANCE, ALL RISK PROPERTY INSURANCE (INCLUDING
WINDSTORM) AND BOILER/MACHINERY INSURANCE FOR CITY
BUILDINGS AND CONTENTS (INCLUDING NEW CONSTRUCTION), FOR
A COMBINED ESTIMATED ANNUAL PREMIUM NOT TO EXCEED
$2,406,377.00 (NET OF BROKER COMMISSIONS), FOR A ONE-YEAR
PERIOD AS PROPOSED BY ARTHUR J. GALLAGHER & CO., THE
CITY'S BROKER OF RECORD.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the resolution.
FUNDING:
Funds are available from the Self-Insurance Fund Number 540.1792.000378.
ANALYSIS:
The City's property insurance needs are covered primarily by three policies: Flood, All Risk
(fire, explosion, lightning) and Boiler/Machinery (equipment breakdown). The predominant
peril to City-owned facilities is storm related loss due to flood and/or windstorm damage.
The City relies on FEMA to provide financial assistance for expenses and damages related
to flood and/or windstorm that are not covered by insurance. Eligibility for FEMA
reimbursement is Federally governed by the Stafford Act.
The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act)
authorizes the President (FEMA per Executive Order) to provide financial and other forms
of assistance to State and local governments, certain private nonprofit organizations and
individuals to support response, recovery and mitigation efforts following Presidentially
declared major disasters and emergencies. The Stafford Act describes generally the
declaration process, the types and extent of assistance that provided and fundamental
eligibility requirements.
To qualify for aid in case of loss due to flood, the Act requires that we purchase the
maximum insurance available. The City has complied with that mandate in the past by
purchasing coverage from the only available source, i.e., the National Flood Insurance
Program. Limits are $500,000 for buildings and $500,000 for building contents. There is a
$5,000 deductible per location. The City purchases a separate Flood policy for each
location within the City. The individual policies renew from July 2005 through December
2006 for one year. The total annual premium for 2004-05 was $215,894 (includes new
construction and purchases). We do not anticipate any premium increase for 2005-
06.
The second coverage, All Risk, can be purchased with or without Windstorm coverage.
With regard to FEMA's eligibility requirements to qualify for reimbursement for losses due
to windstorm, insurance need not have been purchased if the City has not been the
recipient of past FEMA monies in excess of $5,000 for damage to buildings. Miami Beach
meets that criterion. Hence, the City can choose how much risk assumption it wants to
take on, i.e., self-insure and rely on FEMA aid or purchase Windstorm coverage.
The City currently purchases All Risk property insurance (this is a Primary/Excess layered
program) with a Windstorm sublimit of $25,000,000 for an annual premium of $1,410,441.
Lexington Insurance is the Primary carrier in this program with Excess layers provided by
Zurich Insurance Co., Nutmeg Insurance Co., Arch Specialty Ins. Co., Lloyd's of
London/Glencoe, and Allianz Insurance Co.
The City's broker, Arthur J. Gallagher Co. (Gallagher), following our directions, has
identified a replacement program which is All Risk including Windstorm protection for both
named and non-named storms. Lexington Insurance Company is the primary carrier with
excess layers provided by Nutmeg Insurance, Arch specialty Insurance, James River
Insurance, Axis Surplus Lines and Landmark American Insurance Company. The new
program, which would be effective on June 1, 2005, provides for identical coverage with
the only change being increased coverage to certain sub-limits. The total renewal
premium has increased from $1,410,441 to $1,512,243. The premium increase is the
direct result of an 18% increase in property values (new construction, improvements,
and purchases). The actual premium rate decreased by 9.3%.
The third coverage, Boiler/Machinery provides coverage for property built to operate under
a vacuum or pressure, or used for the generation, transmission or utilization of energy
(water pumps, A.C. units, generators). The City purchases this insurance due to the many
locations that house this type of machinery/equipment. Damage sustained by
machinery/equipment for breakdown is not currently reimbursable under any type of State
or Federal program. The premium for 2004-05 was $23,368. with coverage provided by
Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company.
We have received renewal terms from Hartford and an alternate quote from Travelers
Property Casualty Company of America. Hartford has presented a renewal with an
increase in premium. The premium for the new policy is $28,745. Travelers has provided
a very competitive proposal. The Travelers program offers several enhancements over the
Hartford. The Travelers premium is $23,240.
The structure of the City's current and renewal program follows:

In addition to the above, the renewal offers the following options:
· Terrorism Coverage (subject to the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act 2002) Motivated
by the events of September 11,2001 the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 (TRIA)
was enacted by the U.S. Congress in November 2002. The TRIA provides a Federal
backstop for terrorism losses through a program whereby the Federal Government
assumes most of the risk of terrorism attack while the insurance industry provides
mandated coverage through a retention and co-payment. The TRIA further nullifies all
conflicting terrorism exclusions and requires insurers to offer terrorism coverage under
similar terms as other property and casualty coverage as an option.
An "Act of Terrorism" is defined as:
A violent act that is dangerous to human life, property, or infrastructure;
o To have resulted in damage within the United States, or damage to a U.S. air
carrier, U.S. flagged vessel, certain U.S. based vessels, or a U.S. Mission; and
o To have been committed by an individual or individuals acting on behalf of any
foreign person or foreign interest, as part of an effort to coerce the civilian
population of the U.S. or to influence the policy or affect the conduct of the U.S.
Government through coercion.
o An Act of Terrorism does not include an act committed in the course of war declared
by Congress or an act resulting in losses that do not exceed $5,000,000.
The following concerns/problems have been expressed regarding the definition:
o The definition does not appear to encompass purely domestic terrorism (e.g.
Oklahoma). It is unclear how coverage would apply if an "Act of Terrorism" were to
be carried out by a U.S. cell of a foreign network.
o Losses resulting from an act of War are not covered.
o It is unclear whether a cyber attack would be covered.
o The Federal government solely decides on interpretation.
It should be noted the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (TRIA) is set to expire on
December 31,2005. There is no certainty of extension, thus the coverage provided by
insurers mayor may not extend beyond December 321,2005.
The policy deductible of $1 00,000 would apply per occurrence. Coverage is capped at
the policy limit of $170,000,000. The annual additional premium for this coverage
is $141,888.
. Coverage of City Parking Garages-The primary exposure/peril to City property is
Windstorm and Flood. Secondary to Windstorm and Flood would be Fire. Due to the
Construction and Design of the City's Parking Garages, it is likely that in the event of a
loss, damages would be minimal and fall under any applicable policy deductible. The
premium to add the garages to the policy is $74,258.
. Additional Windstorm Limits-Industry models indicate that the Probable Maximum
Loss (PML) would be in excess of $96,000,000 in the event of a direct strike by a
category 3 or stronger hurricane to the City. Gallagher has indicated the Market may
be willing to provide an additional $25,000,000 to $50,000,000 in coverage. The
premium to purchase additional coverage is estimated to be $625,000 for
$25,000,000 and as much as a $1,000,000.00 for $50,000,000.
· Change to Windstorm Deductible (named storm flat deductible)-This option would
simplify and speed up the claim adjustment process in the event of a loss. The full
benefit of the Windstorm Sublimit would apply at a lower attachment level. Gallagher
is currently checking with the markets to see if this can be accomplished with no
premium change.
While the All Risk policy premium is a considerable sum of money, we must recognize that
aid from FEMA is not "contractual" and that the amount of assistance varies depending
upon the extent of a declared disaster. It is important to understand that FEMA is not an
insurance company. Its policies, procedures, and administration are effected by political
and bureaucratic factors that can retard responsiveness and/or reduce anticipated financial
aid. Insurance companies, presumably, respond to claims pursuant to the contractual
obligations imposed by the Policy. That distinction has increased relevance when disasters
occur, recoveries are sought, and speed is important.
While the Administration would prefer the City purchase all offered insurance, sound fiscal
responsibility dictates that recommendations be based on "cost versus risk". Since storm
related loss is the predominant peril to City-owned facilities, the Administration does not
recommend the purchase of Terrorism coverage or coverage for the Parking Garages
(which have minimal damage exposure). The Administration recommends changing the
Windstorm deductible to a flat deductible if available with no premium increase.
With regard to the purchase of additional Wind limits, the Administration recommends the
City purchase the additional $25,000,000 coverage limit, which increases the total
coverage limit to $50,000,000. In the event of a major disaster or multiple disasters (such
as the Hurricane Season of 2004) it has become apparent that FEMA is unable to respond
quickly and efficiently to the financial and overall recovery needs of both the Public and
City Governments. The purchase of additional coverage limits will help minimize the City's
dependence on FEMA, provide additional funds for damage repair, and speed recovery in
the event of damage sustained from a major storm.
The Administration recognizes that during the upcoming policy year, certain CIP projects
will reach completion. At the time of completion, the City will need to add/increase
insurance coverage for the projects involved. We have reviewed the various projects with
CIP and the City's Broker and estimate the additional premium should not exceed $30,000.
We have added the estimated premium of $30,000 to the renewal premium for a total of
$2,406,377 to reflect anticipated expenditures.
In summary, the Administration recommends purchase of the following coverage:

National Flood Insurance $500,000 Bldg/$500,000 Contents $ 215,894

Additional Limits
Cliff-
Further to our conversation on Friday, 5/6 we are working on obtaining additional limits
of coverage for the City's Property Program. As you know, this will take some time to
generate interest and ability from the marketplace. You indicated you needed some
estimates of premium to include in your agenda. Please note the premium indicated is an
estimate provided by the market. The actual premium and acceptance of the coverage
requested will be determined by the market after a thorough review of the completed
application.
$25,000,000 Excess $25,000,000 = Estimated Premium $600,000 - $625,000 $25,000,000 Excess
$50,000,000 = Estimated Premium $275,000 - $300,000
Currently we are trying to generate interest at much less premium. Our initial submission
to the marketplace has us looking for the premium for the $25MM Excess $25MM at $400,000.
The key here is getting enough markets to offer their capacity at the lowest possible
premium (to fill a $25MM limit will take numerous participating carriers). Of course,
some carriers may have capacity, but will only offer it at a higher price. We feel though
that starting out with a low price is the best way to start the negotiation.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
MARKET SUMMARY
Insurance carriers on a national basis continue to report positive overall results for 2004 and
overall insurance rates have been softening in 2005. Overall the insurance industry's financial
results are improved as compared to 2003 despite $21.6 billion in direct losses caused during
the 2004 hurricane season.
Congress has not yet finalized the issue of TRIA, which is currently set to expire on 12/31/05.
It is generally thought that TRIA will be extended, however, not all carriers quoting this renewal
have finalized their approach to TRIA for policies that expire in 2006. We will continue to
pursue each carriers position and specific quotation terms accordingly.
Pricing for casualty and professional liability lines are stable to softening. This is consistent
with national trends. In the State of Florida, these national trends are positively affecting
renewal costs for all lines of coverage except property. As a result of this past year's
unprecedented four-storm hurricane season, property carriers are increasing percentage
windstorm deductibles and increasing rates while simultaneously reducing their participation
in Florida property schedules.
How THE INSURANCE MARKET VIEWS YOUR EXPOSURES:
1. 100% Hiahlv Concentrated Property: Large Property Schedule,100% South Florida
coastal risk. NO inland spread of risk, 100% of property is exposed to wind and considered
coastal, almost waterfront property.
Loss Limit - Wind Limit is absolutelv within the 100% loss limit. In a direct hit storm, the
$25,000,000 limit is a 100% LOSS. Markets expect to payout the entire $25,000,000 limit
in a medium to large size wind storm. Therefore, their pricing must reflect the exposure.
Probable Maximum Loss - Your Probable Maximum Loss (PML) will range from $96,000,000
to $233,000,000 (or 20% to 50% of your Total Insurable Values $464,804,782). Your
renewal of $25,000,000 (or 5% of your TIV) is not enough coverage. We stronqlv urqe the
City to consider purchasing higher limits of wind coverage.
.
City of Miami Beach
Hurricane Andrew -The $1,500,000 damage the City incurred from Hurricane Andrew is
considered peripheral damage and is NOT a benchmark for considering the expected loss
from a medium to large windstorm. Hurricane Andrew directly hit areas approximately 20
miles south of Miami Beach. All carriers expect the City to sustain substantial damage
within your PML in a medium to large windstorm.
Exposure to Fire: The City must also consider their exposure to loss by a fire. There are
several buildings that have significant values that could be affected in the event of a fire.
The top 4 Valued Buildings in the City are as follows:
# BUILDING NAME ADDRESS VALUE
1. Convention Center 1900 Convention Center Drive $198,494,159
2. Theater 1700 Washington Avenue $66,223,802
3. Police Station 1100 Washington Avenue $26,136,275
4. City Hall 1700 Convention Center Drive $16,695,392
The City's All other Perils Limit is $170,000,000. Based on the locations above, we also
believe you should be purchasing a higher limit as your convention center is valued at
$198,494,159.
PROPERTY VALUATION:
One of Arthur J. Gallagher & Co.'s and the City of Miami Beach's major concerns this year is
the accurate reporting of your property values. The City is being proactive in this regard and
has carefully reviewed the property schedule to ensure the properties listed and the values
reported are accurate. In doing so, the City has increased their Total Insured Values(TIV) by
18%. While this is a good faith representation to the carriers, Arthur J. Gallagher & Co.
recommends the City have replacement cost appraisals performed on all City properties.
RENEWAL NEGOTIATIONS:
Obtaining a comprehensive and competitively priced program of insurance in today's
marketplace requires more than access to the market. Past experience and credibility with
markets are the foundation of a successful campaign for the City of Miami Beach. Complete
and accurate underwriting submissions, with detailed specifications, are essential. Arthur J.
Gallagher & Co. made a complete presentation to each of the following companies.

PROPERTY PROGRAM STRUCTURE:
As mentioned previously, the City's Probable Maximum Loss (PML) is in excess of
$96,000,000. This means that in a Category 3, 4 or 5 hurricane, insurance companies expect
to pay in excess of $96,000,000. The renewal program presented to the City provides for
$25,000,000 of Named Windstorm Coverage. This $25,000,000 Limit is substantially less
than your PML and we do not feel that this amount is adequate. In fact, we urge you to
consider buying more coverage, not less. We will obtain quotations for additional limits of
insurance at the City's direction.

Minimum and 15,000,000 Maximum per occurrence. We believe this deductible to be more
advantageous to the City in the event of a medium to large storm. If this is of interest to
you, please advise and we will provide actual terms, conditions and pricing
3. Additional Limits are available upon request.
NOTES OF IMPORTANCE
1. The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (TRIA) is set to expire on December 31,2005. There
is no certainty of extension, thus the coverage provided by your insurers mayor may
not extend beyond December 31,2005. In the event you have loan covenants or other
contractual obligations requiring that terrorism coverage be maintained throughout the
duration of your policy period, we recommend that a separate "Stand Alone" terrorism
policy be purchased to satisfy those obligations. TRIA Premium shown is for coverage
through 12/31/05.
2. Subject to signed Statement of Values received by the Company within 30 days of
binding. Failure to provide signed SOV will result in elimination of Blanket coverage
and scheduled coverage will apply.
3. Signed TRIA Acceptance/Rejection form at time of binding.

6. This Property Program presented contains a Warranty Statement/Clause. Failure to
maintain Protective Safeguards to all existing systems i.e. sprinklers, alarms,
watchman service etc. will void coverage. In the event of a loss there will be no
coverage under this program if it is found that the Protective Systems were not
operational and the carriers were not advised of the temporary suspension of these
Protective Systems prior to the loss.
7. This program contains an Electronic Data Clause Endorsement which limits coverage
to EDP Equipment/Media and Hardware to specified perils. A copy of this
endorsement has been provided for your review in the Specimen policy book. We
recommend that the City consider purchasing Cyber Liability coverage.
8. Coverage is not provided for property whose values have not been declared in the
SOV/Schedule of Locations provided by the City for this renewal.

SUMMARY:
We believe the renewal program presented to the City is a very competitive program given
today's Florida property market. Overall, The City's Property rate has been reduced from
$.3586 to $.3253 or (9.3%). This is despite an 18% increase in the property values. Total
property renewal premium is $1,512,243 (excluding coverage for garages.)
We continue to believe that the $25,000,000 Named Windstorm sub-limit currently purchased
by the City does not provide the City with enough coverage and we recommend that the City
purchase additional coverage limits. We recommend that the City purchase minimum limits
equal to its Probable Maximum Loss. We estimate that an additional $50,000,000 (excess of
$25,000,000) of named windstorm coverage could cost approximately $500,000 although we
do not have actual quotations from the marketplace for this additional limit. If you are
interested in obtaining proposals for this additional limit, please let us know.
We also believe the $170,000,000 Loss Limit for your All other Perils coverage is insufficient
as your largest location is valued in excess of $200,000,000. If you are interested in obtaining
additional limits of insurance, please advise.
Travelers Property & Casualty of America has offered a very aggressive proposal for your
Boiler and Machinery program which includes various enhancements in coverage. The
premium is $23,240.
Additionally, we recommend the City purchase coverage for Terrorism. We believe that due to
the City's high profile, that you do in fact have an exposure to terrorism. The purchase of such
coverage is a necessity. Options based on the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act 2002 are
included with this policy. Because there are limitations with this coverage, we recommend you
evaluate Stand Alone Terrorism Coverage.
We thank you for allowing us to serve you over the past nine (9) years. We value the City's
trust and pledge our personal and corporate commitment to servicing your needs.

NOTICE REGARDING POTENTIAL EXPIRATION OF THE TERRORISM RISK
INSURANCE ACT OF 2002
The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2003 (TRIA 2002) is scheduled to expire on
December 31,2005. If Congress does not take action to extend TRIA, the ACT
will expire and three things will occur:
1. Federal reinsurance for "certified acts of terrorism" ceases.
2. The definition of "certified acts of terrorism" becomes null and void.
3. Insures will no longer be required to offer terrorism coverage by federal
law.
Essentially, insurance carriers are now issuing Terrorism disclosure forms and
coverage parts that will only provide TRIA coverage until 12/31/05, unless TRIA
is renewed by Congress, even though the coverage provided by this policy will
expire at a later date. If the Act is not renewed by Congress and if TRIA
coverage is purchased as a part of this policy, TRIA coverage will cease as of
12/31/05. Various carriers are handling premium charges differently for this
potential situation. There may be an additional premium charge from the
carriers after 12/31/05 if the City opts to purchase TRIA effective 06/01/05.
