ISSUE/REQUEST
Adopt a Resolution approving a purchase in the amount of $1,819,656.51 from the Human
Resources Department for an authorize payment of property, casualty, liability and worker’s
compensation premiums for 2018-19 plan year which are due at this time.
BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION
The City obtains property, casualty, liability and worker’s compensation insurance policies
through Midwest Public Risk (MPR). MPR is a self-insurance pool for public entities in Missouri
and Kansas. By participating in a larger insurance pool, the risk and cost of insurance is spread
over a larger group and premiums are more competitive and stable. MPR also provides training
and services to ensure better practices that result in more competitive rates. The City has been
an MPR member since the early 1980’s.
Rates are increasing for all coverages – property, liability worker’s compensation coverage.
Plan Year 2018-19 Plan Year 2017-18 Difference
Property $163,939.27 $150,403.00 9.00%
Liability $679,615.92 $653,476.84 4.00%
Worker’s Comp $976,101.32 $722,372.41 35.12%
Total $1,819,656.51 $1,526,252.25 19.22%
Cost of insurance in general continues to increase. Property values for larger, updated
properties have higher insurance values/rates.
Worker’s Compensation – Work comp is calculated based on payroll and payroll costs continue
to increase. We continue to have annual meetings with MPR staff to review our work comp
claims and determine steps to be taken to reduce and manage worker’s compensation costs.

1
6/12/2018
Background
The following recommendations were tabled by the Commission:
• Assess a fee per household to be used to operate the recycling center (3
options: annual fee through tax by ordinance, monthly fee on utility bill, and/or
require public vote)
• Advocate citizens to use recycling through their private haulers
• Send out a new RFP to open a recycling center that would be staffed and
managed by a third party
• Explore regional recycling center in Eastern Jackson County with MARC and
area communities
• Enact a user fee for recycling center usage (2nd option: free for residents, non‐
residents assessed a fee)
• Require all licensed haulers to bundle recycling with trash services
Commissioners
• James Barry, Chairman
• Robert Fasl, Vice Chairman
• Ann Leinn Gibson
• Eli Noland
• John Nolan
• Byron Craddolph, Planning Commission Liaison
• Dale Carter, Councilman

Recommendations
#1 – Consider the removal of the requirement that roll‐off containers be
within 5‐ft. of the house (Municipal Code, Section 270.040.B).
• Increases safety and efficiency of trash haulers
• Potentially decreases hauling costs through increased efficiency
Recommendations
#2 – Consider a requirement that all haulers must provide an annual waste
audit to the City at the time of business license renewal.
• Helps the City to estimate diversion rates
• Data can assist with determining future solid waste decisions
3
6/12/2018
Recommendations
#3 – Publish a new RFP and send directly to licensed haulers to determine
updated cost estimates for recycling center operation.
• New haulers have entered the Blue Springs market since summer 2017
who may respond
• Sending directly to licensed haulers will ensure haulers are aware of the
opportunity to bid
Recommendations
#4 – Designate funds in the annual City budget to reopen and operate the
recycling center, with the possibility of funding through a future tax.
• Designate a line item in the annual budget for the recycling center
• Potentially fund the operation of the center through a future voter
approved tax
4
6/12/2018
Recommendations
#5 – Consider working towards a plan to divide the City into 3 or 4 districts
or zones and contract trash and recycling services for each.
• Encourages competition between haulers and helps to keep prices low
• Reduces impacts to infrastructure by limiting a single hauler to a district
or zone
• All homes in a neighborhood will have same trash day, reducing
aesthetic concerns
• Increased efficiency for haulers, particularly smaller haulers, as services
are concentrated in designated areas, rather than Citywide.
