RE: Florida Municipal Funds
Dear Ken;
It was a pleasure speaking to you today and learning of your involvement with the
newly incorporated City of Aventura. The Florida League of Cities administers four
distinct self-insurance funds (liability, worker's compensation, health, and pension) for
governmental entities (cities, counties, taxing districts) and would welcome the
opportunity to provide coverage for Aventura. Our present membership totals
approximately 500 entities statewide and we recently wrote coverage for Florida's
other newest municipalities of Ft. Myers Beach, DeBary, Deltona, and Wellington.
I understand the elected officials will take office March 28, 1996 at which time
General Liability and Public Officials Liability, at minimum, will be required. For your
information, our premiums for these would be as follows:
Limit of Liability "Ar~oual Premium
$1,000,000 $1,500
$5,000,000 $2,000
*These are minimum premiums and would be subject to adjustment based on actual
exposure basis such as operating expenditures and payrolls.
Undoubtedly, Aventura will also want to consider membership into both the Florida
League of Cities and Dade County League of Cities organizations. Ms. Lynn Tipton
of our Tallahassee office can assist you in this regard and can be reached at 1-800-
342-8112.
I've enclosed information on our insurance programs in addition to the League's
general services.
