Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
The County of Mendocino has participated in the CSAC Excess Insurance Authority Joint Powers Agreement since 1979. Amendments to the CSAC Excess Insurance Authority Joint Powers Agreement have occurred in 1980, 1987, 1988, 1993, 1996 and 2005.
Summary of Request:
CSAC Excess Insurance Authority (EIA) was formed by and for the California counties in 1979 by the California State Association of Counties (CSAC). Today, 55 out of the 58 counties in California participate in one or more of the EIA programs. In 2001, the EIA expanded its offerings to other California public agencies. At this point, over 70% of the cities in California participate in one or more of the EIA programs. In addition, a variety of special districts, school districts, and JPAs also participate in EIA Programs. The EIA is recognized as the largest public entity property and casualty pool in the United States.
After 40 years of existence, the EIA is proposing to change its name to Public Risk Innovation, Solutions, and Management (otherwise known as PRISM). The consideration of a name change came at the request of CSAC (California State Association of Counties) due to the on-going confusion over the fact that CSAC EIA and CSAC are two completely separate entities.
The main purpose of the proposed JPA Amendment is to substitute the new name for the old one throughout the document. One other notable change is that the provision that county members must maintain their membership in CSAC is being removed. This will help the organization create a unique identity apart from CSAC. The removal of this requirement does not affect the governance of the EIA in any way. The EIA’s relationship with CSAC is very good and its desire is to continue to foster a very strong and collaborative relationship with CSAC going forward. CSAC is aware of this proposed change and has not expressed any concern over it.
The proposed amendments are an amendment to the existing CSAC EIA joint powers agreement. The existing JPA is not being “rescinded or terminated.” The parties to the amended agreement are not entering into an agreement to create a new joint powers agency; rather, the parties are simply amending the existing Agreement.
Since the JPA Agreement was being amended to address the name change and removal of the CSAC membership requirement, the EIA has also made some other amendments to the Agreement to “clean up” the document to coincide with current practices and the future vision of the organization.
