Re: No Paid Property/Liability Claims in 2011-12
Dear Mr. Ooten:
This letter is to formally acknowledge the dedicated efforts of the Costa Mesa Sanitary District's Governing
Body, management and staff towards proactive risk management and loss prevention training. Your agency's
efforts have resulted in no "paid" property/liability claims for program year 2011-12. A "paid" claim for the
purposes of this recognition represents the first payment on an open claim during the prior program year and
excludes property claims. This is a great accomplishment!
It is through the efforts of members such as Costa Mesa Sanitary District that SDRMA has been able to
continue providing affordable property/liability coverage to over 457 public agencies throughout California. In
fact, 388 members or 85% in the property/liability program had no "paid" claims in program year 2011-12.
In addition to this annual recognition, members with no "paid" claims during 2011-12 earn 2 credit incentive
points (CIPs) thereby reducing their annual contribution amount. Also, members with no "paid" claims for at
least 3 consecutive program years may receive a lower "risk factor" which also reduces their annual
contribution amount.
As SDRMA is dedicated to serving its members and preventing claims, we would appreciate your agency
taking a moment and sharing with us what made your District successful in preventing property/liability losses.
Our goal is to incorporate your successful ideas and suggestions into our loss prevention programs to benefit
all members of SDRMA. Please forward any comments or suggestions to Dennis Timoney, SDRMA Chief Risk
Officer at dtimoney @sdrma.org.
On behalf of the SDRMA Board of Directors and staff, it is my honor to congratulate the Governing Body,
management and staff of Costa Mesa Sanitary District for their commitment to proactive risk management and
loss prevention training.
Sincerely,
Special District Risk Management Authority
.- "Ho
