RECOMMENDATION:                                                                                                                       

Informational report for discussion.                     

BACKGROUND:                                                                                                                                 

This is presented in compliance with Board of Trustees Policy 2.1.II.E which states:

This presentation will also include a benchmark comparison of anticipated premium expenditures approved by the Board last year under the Insurance Brokerage Services contract.
