CITY OF SAN LEANDRO
<br />NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
<br />For The Year Ended June 30, 2018
<br />I NOTE 11-INSURANCE
<br />The City provides workers' compensation benefits under self-insurance programs. Claims outstanding,
<br />including claims incurred but not reported, are estimated and recorded as liabilities in the Self Insurance
<br />Internal Service Fund. The City's self-insured retention limit for workers' compensation is $250,000 per
<br />claim. The City is a member of the Local Agency Workers' Compensation Excess Joint Powers
<br />Authority (LA WCX). This coverage includes a limit of $45 million for excess workers compensation, $5
<br />million for employer's liability, and a statutory excess layer of $50 million.
<br />The City is a member of California Joint Powers Risk Management Authority (CJPRMA), which
<br />provides annual general liability coverage in an aggregate up to $40 million. The City is self-insured for
<br />the first $500,000 for liability losses. The City has had no settlements that exceed the self-insured
<br />retention coverage in the last five fiscal years. The City added Pollution and Environmental Liability,
<br />effective July 1, 2013.
<br />The City's deposits in the CJPRMA equal the ratio of the City's payroll to the total payrolls of all entities
<br />participating in the same layer of each program in each program year. Actual surpluses or losses are
<br />shared according to a formula developed from overall loss costs and spread to member entities on a
<br />percentage basis after a retrospective rating. Estimated claims liabilities, as shown below, are presented
<br />on a basis of actuarial value as determined by the City's actuary, who determines the expected value of
<br />the overall claim based upon certain criteria of the claim.
<br />The following provides a reconciliation of claims and judgments:
<br />Current Year Claims for
<br />Liability Claims and Payments in Liability

<br />I NOTE 12 -COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
<br />The City participates in several Federal and State grant programs. These programs have been audited by
<br />the City's independent accountants in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Single Audit Act as
<br />amended and applicable State requirements. No cost disallowances were proposed as a result of these
<br />audits. However, these programs are still subject to further examination by the grantors and the amount, if
<br />any, of expenditures that may be disallowed by the granting agencies cannot be determined at this time.
<br />The City expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial.
<br />The City is a defendant in a number of lawsuits which have arisen in the normal course of business.
<br />While substantial damages are alleged in some of these actions, their outcome cannot be predicted with
<br />certainty. In the opinion of the City Attorney, these actions when finally adjudicated will not have a
<br />material adverse effect on the financial position of the City. As discussed in Note 11 to the Financial
<br />Statements, the City maintains a Self-Insurance Fund which has reserves of $6,598,344 at the end of June
<br />30, 2018. These reserves are available to satisfy any future liability.
