Risk Management & Safety

Risk Management maintains the City’s insurance and workers’ compensation funds, administers all liability and workers compensation claims, recommends and procures supplemental insurance policies, reviews contractual indemnity insurance and bond clauses and oversees the City’s Safety Program.
