a. Renewal of Workers Compensation Insurance Policy: Workers' Compensation insurance for the District will expire at the end of the 2020 and must be renewed by December 28, 2020. Staff continues to work diligently in researching the best Workers' Compensation program for the District's needs at the best possible premium value. Working with our current broker, Corkill Insurance Agency, we have concluded that our existing carrier, Illinois Public Risk Fund (IPRF) remains the single best Workers' Compensation provider for an organization of our size. For the 12-month renewal period beginning in January 2021, IPRF has proposed an annual premium of $432,057 dollars. The renewal proposal also includes a grant award of $17,164. Staff recommends the Board of Trustees approve the renewal of the Districts Workers Compensation Insurance policy with Illinois Public Risk Fund.
