COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF CITY COUNCIL
CITY OF DEKALB
February 27, 2012
The City Council of DeKalb, Illinois held a Committee of the Whole Meeting on Monday,
February 27, 2012 in the Council Chambers of the DeKalb Municipal Building, 200 South
Fourth Street, DeKalb, Illinois.
Mayor Povlsen called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m.
A. ROLL CALL:
Deputy City Clerk Wright called the roll and the following members of City Council were
present: Alderman David Jacobson, Alderman Tom Teresinski, Alderman Kristen Lash,
Alderman Brendon Gallagher, Alderman Ronald Naylor, Alderman David Baker, Alderman
Monica O’Leary and Mayor Kris Povlsen.
Also present were: Mark Biernacki, City Manager; Rudy Espiritu, Assistant City Manager; Dean
Frieders, City Attorney; Ron Pearson, Interim Police Chief; Eric Hicks, Interim Fire Chief; T.J.
Moore, Public Works Director; Joel Maurer, Assistant Director Public Works – Engineering/
Transportation; Derek Hiland, Principal Planner; Laura Pisarcik, Finance/Purchasing Director;
Jennifer Diedrich, Economic Development Coordinator; Byron Wilkins, Contracted IT
Technician and Diane Wright, Deputy City Clerk.
B. ITEMS ALSO ON THE REGULAR MEETING AGENDA:
NONE.
C. CONSIDERATIONS:
1) CONSIDERATION OF A RISK MANAGEMENT POOL.
Mr. Espiritu advised Council that this item involves contracting for risk management insurance,
specifically worker's compensation claims and general liability insurance. Mr. Frieders stated
that the City is self insured and explained the costs that the City incurs with worker's
compensation and liability claims. Mr. Espiritu stated that based on Council's prior direction,
staff sought proposals for risk management insurance. The City received two types of quotes
from three providers. "First dollar" quotes where the City pays no deductible for any worker's
compensation claims were received by two firms (MICA and ICRMT). Additionally, he said,
one firm (Pardridge) submitted a proposal for self-insured retention (SIR). With the SIR, the City
pays for each worker's compensation claim up to a certain amount; this is considered
catastrophic coverage. He referred to the backup information and explained the comparisons. Mr.
Espiritu stated that after reviewing the programs, staff recommends joining the MICA pooled
Committee of the Whole Meeting

insurance program at a cost of approximately $1.7 million to join.
With the MICA program, Mr. Espiritu stated, the City would be sharing the risk with sixty (60)
other municipalities for health insurance and would save $700,000 a year. The cost, he added,
includes all legal expenses including costs for a third party administrator. Mr. Espiritu stated that
representatives from MICA and Pardridge are present to answer questions.
Mr. Espiritu stated that if the City joined MICA, it would commence May 1; any existing claims
that the City has would be paid through the City, he noted.
Mr. Eddie Floodberg, Area Assistant Vice President with MICA, stated that not everyone has the
opportunity to join MICA. He stated that the $1.7 million cost would go down in future years
because MICA looks at the City's best five years, and if the City's losses decrease, the fee would
automatically be reduced.
Council asked questions regarding costs, formula for reducing payment, term of contract (three
year commitment), future payments, other members in MICA, and the possibility of investigative
actions by MICA on behalf of the City.
Mr. Mike Peddle, of the Finance Advisory Committee, stated that the City would be well advised
to have "first dollar" coverage on worker's compensation claims. He added that this would
stabilize the City's exposure for liability and it will be looked at more favorably in the market.
Mr. Bob McWeeney and Mr. Curt Pardridge addressed Council regarding their proposal. Mr.
McWeeney noted that MICA asks for $1.7 million and Travelers' quote is $475,000. He stated
that if the City has no claims, the money would come back to the City. He added that the City
would pay the first $50,000 of any legal expenses and after that figure, legal fees would be
covered through their plan.
Council discussed the two proposals, including what is covered in each, and costs. Ald.
Teresinski suggested that staff be directed to work with both entities and develop comparisons of
all costs and determine an approximate cost from MICA after the third year. Council also agreed
that they need to decide if the City will choose "first dollar" or SIR coverage.
2) CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE MUNICIPAL CODE
OF THE CITY OF DEKALB, ILLINOIS TO MAKE USE OF A “BOOT”
DEVICE.
Not acted on in this meeting.
3) CONSIDERATION TO APPROVE TRAFFIC ANALYSIS & DESIGN, INC. FOR
A TRIAL ORIGIN-DESTINATION AND TRAVEL TIME STUDY FOR THE
DSATS AREA.
Mr. Maurer stated that the DeKalb-Sycamore Transportation Study (DSATS) is recommending a
trial planning study to measure vehicle trip origins, destinations and travel times on various
routes. Two firms were interviewed for the study and Traffic Analysis & Design was chosen. Mr.
Maurer noted that the project cost is covered by the State of Illinois Planning Grants; the City's
Committee of the Whole Meeting
February 27, 2012
Page 3 of 3
share would be less than $3,000. Mr. Maurer described the project and how data will be collected
from vehicles passing the data collector along specific routes.
MOTION
Ald. Gallagher moved to approve staff's recommendation and directed staff to prepare an
agreement with Traffic Analysis and Design for the planning study project; seconded by Ald.
Lash. Motion carried on voice vote. Mayor Povlsen declared the motion passed.

while setting the salary for the next term. Mr. Frieders replied there are limits on what Council
can change because there are statutory requirements that Council cannot change. He added that it
would be possible to adjust the salary to whatever Council determined would be appropriate.
However, he said, Council could not do so in a discriminatory manner or focus on one person.

would be ready for the next meeting.
