Deputy Supervisor Greenan re Renewal of Cyber Insurance Kathleen Rapasadi of Tompkins Insurance/Gallagher Insurance was present along with Randy Glenn. Mr. Glenn provided the following information: - The town has had cyber insurance - Cyber liability is experiencing an uptick - CFC is one of the best companies for cyber insurance - Recommend that the town increase the computer crime coverage from $250,000 to $500,000 - There are two options for the town's consideration; a $0 retention/deductible or a $10,000 retention/deductible - The premium, after taxes and fees, for the 2nd option ($10,000 retention/deductible) would be $24,342.82 versus $28, 954.51 Councilmember Breidenstein asked when the current policy expires. Ms. Rapasadi stated August 16th. Ms. Rapasadi stated the following companies were contacted but declined as they could not compete with the pricing: Beazley, E-Risk, and Westchester. Councilmember Sherman asked if the companies declined because the town had cyber claims. Ms. Rapasadi stated they did not and the town has never had a cyber claim. Councilmember Breidenstein stated the declinations should be included with the agenda item. Councilmember Sherman questioned the deductible. Mr. Glenn stated the town would pay one deductible of $10,000 per claim. Councilmember Sherman asked what would happen if the town met the $10,000 deductible. Mr. Glenn stated the town would forward any invoices beyond $10,000 to the insurance company; the reinsurance company would cover costs up to $1M. Councilmember Robertson asked when the process of exploring other carriers and services began. Ms. Rapasadi stated the process begins 6 months ahead. Councilmember Robertson stated the proposal was just brought to the Town Board when the current policy expires in 6 days and requested that the Town Board members are included sooner to have adequate time to consider the information. Ms. Rapasadi and Mr. Glenn confirmed they would do this. Councilmember Breidenstein stated that while he is pleased to have a robust cybersecurity package, it is frustrating that the numbers provided for the agenda are different than the figures being considered at the meeting. Going forward, Councilmember Breidenstein requested that the proposal is cleaner and understandable by town residents. Further, Councilmember Breidenstein stated that he would like at least 30 days notice of any new proposal. Motion by Supervisor Dickson, seconded by Councilmember Sherman, to accept the quote for cybersecurity insurance from CFC in the amount of $24,342.82 with crime coverage increasing to $500,000 with a $10,000 retention (deductible).
