Re: Insurance Meeting Recap
Dear Mr. DuFour:
I would like to summaris the results of our meeting this morning with you, Alan Owens,
Mary Smith and Michelle Rogers concerning the upcoming insurance renewals on
October 1. I will address each policy individually.
P-
Carrier: Prefd Goveinmental Insurance Trust (PGIT)
Policy Dates: October 1,2004 to October 1,2005
This policy insures your pmputy, general liability, professional liabilities, and your
automobile coverage. This package policy renewal premium is $653,706, which is an
approximate increase of 17% over the expiring policy. The main reason for this is the
large increase in the city's vehicle fleet. The total vehicle count has increased from the
current policy's 188 automobiles to 253 for the upcoming renewal. PGIT does not make
a charge for vehicles added after October 1. We adjust the total number of vehicles each
year prior to the renewal date and charge for the revised vehicle count. We have also
increased your total property coverage from $19,483,504 to $22,585,365 to reflect
changes in the property schedule.
PGIT Workers Corn-
Carrier Preferred Governmental Insurance Trust (PGIT)
Policy Dates: October 1,2004 to October 1,2005
The renewal premium this year, with no deductible per claim, is $1,465,394, which is
based on an estimated payroll of $24,413,139, compared to the expiring payroll of
$20,772,252. The city's experience modification factor has also changed from the
current 1.01 to 1.04 effective 10/01/04. This factor is based on the city's claims
experience for the past throe years.
This year I feel it makcs sense to add a deductible to this policy. Risk management staff
is in place now at the city and combined with the excellent claims service from Preferred
Governmental Claims Solutions (PGCS) a large deductible plan now makes sense. We
discussed two deductible options: a $25,000 and a $50,000 deductible per claim.

I requested the PGIT underwriter review the city's loss history and look at the potential
savings to the city if either deductible plan was chosen. After reviewing the cost savings
for both deductiblcs with you, staff, and Alan Owens the $50,000 deductible option was
agreed upon based on its potential savings to the city of $172,314, after factoring in the
cost of claims paid by the city under the deductible.
StatutowAD&DPo lic y
Carrier: Hartford
Policy Dates: November 6,2004 to November 6,2005
This policy insures against Accidental Death & Dismemberment for the city's full time
law enforcement officers, full time firefighters, and volunteer fighters injured or killed in
the line of duty. This is a three-year policy, payable annually. The installment premium
due in November is $7,604.
Grow Ac cident Policy
Carrier: Health Specialty
Policy Dates: December 5,2004 to December 5,2005
This is travel accident policy written to cover the City Manager and City Council
Members, which pays varying amounts depending on the injury or accident. The current
annual premium is $575 and is not expected to change much for the upcoming renewal.
Storage Tank Pow 'on Liabilitv
Carrier: Zurich
Policy Dates: May 11,2004 to May 1 1 , 2005
This policy insures the city's petroleum storage tanks for third party and first party
liability in the amount of $1,000,000 each claim/%1,000,000 in the aggregate. The
current policy premium is $2,854.
Thank you for allowing Acordia and PGIT to serve your insurance needs.

Meeting Date: September 14,2004
Resolution 172,2004
I PROJECT DETAILS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This petition is a dual waiver request from Section 78-285, which prohibits signage above the second
floor line and limits principal tenant signage to 90 square feet. These waivers will allow the Palm
Beach Gardens Medical Pavilion to install a 234 square-foot principal tenant sign on the third floor
of the south elevation, which is adjacent to PGA Boulevard. Staff recommends approval of the
subject petition.
BACKGROUND
The Palm Beach Gardens Medical Pavilion, formerly known as the Good Samaritan/ St. Mary’s
Health Care Pavilion, was approved on November 4, 1993, through Resolution 134, 1993. On
March 16,1995, the City Council approved the sign package for St. Mary’s through the adoption of
Resolution 16, 1995. This signage package permitted a principal tenant sign on the second floor of
the south elevation, which is adjacent to PGA Boulevard; and a sign on the first floor of the north
elevation, which is adjacent to the parking lot.
LAND USE & ZONING
The site has a future land-use designation of Professional Office (PO) and a zoning designation of
Planned Community District (PCD) Overlay.
Applicant ’s Reauest
The applicant is requesting two waivers from Section 78-285, which prohibits building signage
above the second floor line and limits principal tenant signs to a maximum size of 90 square feet.
These waivers will allow the applicant to install a 234 square-foot principal tenant sign on the third
floor of the south elevation, which is adjacent to PGA Boulevard. Currently, the existing sign on the
south elevation is located on the second floor. Due to tree growth, the existing sign is not visible
from PGA Boulevard. Approval of these waivers will allow the applicant to install a “Palm Beach
Gardens Medical Pavilion’’ sign above the trees on the third floor, which will provide adequate
visibility to the general public.

Waiver
The applicant is requesting the following waivers: I Recommendation I Required I Provided I Waiver
Code Section
Staff Analysis
This waiver request for a sign on the third floor will not negatively impact the surrounding area. The
existing sign on the south elevation is not visible to the general public due to the thick vegetation in
front of the elevation along PGA Boulevard. Therefore, visitors of this facility may not be able to
decipher where the Palm Beach Gardens Medical Pavilion is located. This waiver has also been
approved for the adjacent UBS and Bank One buildings as well as the Marriot Hotel, Admiralty
Bank, Double Tree Hotel, Embassy Suites, Catalfumo, Sun Trust, Grand Bank, and Wachenhut.
The applicant is also requesting a waiver to allow for a sign larger than 90 square feet. The increased
size of the sign is warranted because of the lengthy title of the building, “Palm Beach Gardens
Medical Pavilion.” The applicant was willing to limit the name to “Gardens Medical Pavilion.”
However, City safety personnel raised concerns because of this facility’s close proximity and its
similarity in name to the Gardens Medical Center, which may cause confusion to those seeking either
facility. Therefore, the Palm Beach Gardens Medical Pavilion has been the name chosen for the
facility; which if the sign was reduced in size, would not be proportionate to the building or clearly
visible to the public.
It is staffs professional opinion that these waivers will allow for a positive addition to the Palm
Beach Gardens Medical Pavilion and will not grant any special privileges. Therefore, staff
recommends approval of the subject petition.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 172,2004, with the condition provided therein.
