The Mayor left the meeting at 9.30 am during discussion.

 

A report from the Financial Controller (Gavin Logie) provided an update on the insurance renewal process for the 2016/17 financial year.

 

It noted that as part of the 2014/15 insurance renewal Council were able to place 35% of its core cover into the international market, which provided risk mitigation in relation to market capacity, but also delivered the opportunity to extend cover to infrastructure assets as well as the creation of market tension which ensured other renewal terms and conditions were favourable.

 

The Group Chief Financial Officer (Grant McKenzie) commented that the strategy for the 2016/17 renewal would focus on areas which included Business Interruption Cover, asset schedules, Liability Policies with looking at the possible inclusion of Cyber Insurance.  Mr McKenzie commented that the market was flat at the moment so it is anticipated that there would not be a large increase/decreases in premium.

 

Mr McKenzie responded to questions on Cyber Insurance and he commented that the market for Cyber Insurance had matured considerable and Policies provided cover for things such as protection and cleansing of computer systems following a cyber-attack.

a)     Notes the insurance renewal update for the 2016/17 financial year.
