Background

On December 3, 2013 Council voted to authorize the City Manager to negotiate

and execute a contract with USIS/AmeriSys for the provision of workers'

compensation administrative services, effective March 1, 2014. As a part of

that process, CCG has applied for formal self-insured status with the Georgia

State Board of Workers' Compensation. Although we have been effectively

self-insured during the term of the contract with ACCG, under Georgia Code our

payment arrangement with that organization did not require that we be

officially approved as being self-insured. The application was filed on

December 21, 2013, and we are advised that everything is in order except that

the Board requires Council's Resolution be specific in its terminology relating

to approval and compliance with the law.

Analysis

Approval of this Resolution will complete the documentation required by the

Georgia State Board of Worker's Compensation to approve CCG's application for

formal self-insured status.

Financial Considerations

None.

Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement

None.

Legal Considerations

The City Attorney's office has approved the language of this Resolution.
