Background and History:

In 2020, The City of Flagstaff marketed all lines of primary insurance and, apart from Airport and International Travel coverage, moved all insurance policies to AMRRP.
One advantage of insuring with AMRRP is that most years, dividends are issued based on net financial performance of the pool. This year was no different, the pool issued a dividend of $249,450 to the City of Flagstaff, which the City has elected to take as a credit payable in July of 2022.

Following are estimated premiums for FY22/23:
  1. AMRRP Liability Insurance Coverage - $1,004,825 (increase of 5% from previous FY)
  2. AMRRP Excess Insurance - $132,376 (decrease of 11% from previous FY)
  3. Workers Compensation estimate - $788,861 (based on employee count)
  4. Airport and International Travel estimate - $46,000
  5. Industrial Commission of Arizona fee estimate (based on population, new in FY21) - $200,000
Total estimated coverage for FY22/23 - $2,172,062. This represents a total anticipated increase of approximately $111,400 from FY21/22, which is 100% off set by the $249,450 dividend declared by the AMRRP board on May 10, 2022.
