August 5th
Todd Foster of Midwest Public Risk gave a short overview of MPR to the BOA. It is a cooperative of cities and public entities that forms a non-profit cooperative to cover workcomp, liabilities and other like issues. Their focus is to assist their participants in promoting safe work conditions that avoid what can be costly claims against public employers. The excess in premiums after payouts is returned to the co-op members in the form of dividends. Another way to recover some of the premium $ is through Recognition Awards, for achieving or exceeding certain metrics. Mr Foster was happy to present a check, $879, to the city for the past fiscal year as a Recognition Award.
City Clerk Gwen gave Nan, her assistant, a shout out for being the driving force for the city to achieve the award.
BTW, if you have an inquiring mind, the city has received back from MPR over the past ten years, $14,700.
