City of Smyrna Issue Sheet File Number: ATH2025-178 A Max Bacon City Hall 2800 King Street Smyrna, GA 30080 1 2 9 9 Agenda Date: 11/17/2025 In Control: City Council File Type: Authorization Agenda Section: Formal Business Department: Human Resources Agenda Title: Authorization for the recommendation to move the City’s Workers’ Compensation program to BITCO Insurance Companies for an annual premium of $488,749 and authorize the Mayor to execute all documents. Citywide ISSUE AND BACKGROUND: The City’s Worker’s Compensation insurance program renews on January 1, 2026. The City’s coverage has been with Associated Claims Administrators (ACA) for the past 2 years. While our overall claims have continued to decrease, there are a number of significant service issues with ACA. Mr. John Knop and Mr. Carson Saville have recently gone to the market to obtain quotes for the 2026 renewal. Of the companies quoting, BITCO Insurance Companies offers the most financially competitive quote for the same coverage, enhanced client service, and a local regional office in Duluth. RECOMMENDATION / REQUESTED ACTION: Staff recommends moving the City’s Workers’ Compensation program to BITCO Insurance Companies for an annual premium of $488,749 and authorize the Mayor to execute all documents.
