The Tuscaloosa Insurance and Litigation Committee met on September 29, 2026, and approved all three insurance renewals on its agenda by voice vote. Members also handled a scheduling change caused by cancellation of the December meeting and discussed how the committee would approach the February 2027 renewal of the city's larger insurance policy.
To adopt those will be motion two amendments. Second. All in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Minutes are adopted. Item number one, Mr. Holmes. It looks like you're playing this week on the items. Um sorry, I know the three items on this committee, but I don't remember which ones are up. So what is up first? Uh so we do have three renewals today. The first is the engineers professional liability policy. Okay. Um that is a premium of um 20,225 and 25 cents. That is up uh a little over $1,800 since last year. Um, and uh Mike's not in here. I I'm not positive that that's not an unusual increase, but we may also have an additional uh an additional engineer on on staff that that would also raise that okay. Uh are there any questions or comments from the members? Motion all in favor say aye. Aye. All right, that item is approved, Mr. Holmes. Uh yes, sir. This is the insurance uh for our police officers and firefighters supplemental retirement plan. Uh that is gone as a a premium of six thousand dollars, uh six thousand and ninety dollars, which is an increase over last year's premium of three hundred and seventy-eight dollars. Uh this is the fiduciary insurance for our members of uh staff in ANF who have to have to handle uh and oversee this money. The supplemental uh retirement is separate from the police fire pension, so this is not something that will go away just because of uh RSA conversion. I'm sorry, say that last part again. This will this will continue to exist beyond RSA conversion because it is separate from the police fire uh pay plan. I don't know how many people still receive the supplemental at some point. This will sunset, but it's not not sometime in that. I don't I I guess I don't understand. Is this it's not retirees you're talking about? Yes, yes, sir. So that's people like me, yeah. Well, it's if you're covered under the supplemental plan. Okay, if you're receiving benefits under the supplemental plan, then that supplemental plan will continue to exist completely separate and apart from RF the RSA conversion. Okay. Motion second. All in favor say aye.
