RISK MANAGEMENT ANNUAL REPORT
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Presented herein is the Maricopa County Risk Management Annual Report for the fiscal year
July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014.
This report contains summaries of the fiscal year’s losses and costs for Maricopa County’s (County)
auto liability, auto physical damage, general liability, medical malpractice, property damage,
workers’ compensation, professional liability, environmental liability, environmental property
damage and unemployment exposures. This report, along with ongoing quarterly reports to County
departments during the year, are intended to assist departments in recognizing the nature and extent
of their losses to implement and improve their loss control and prevention programs.
Structure and Mission
As of June 30, 2014, the Risk Management Department (Department) completed its 33rd year
administering the County’s self-insurance program. Risk Management’s mission is to provide
claims management, safety and loss control consultations and training, environmental consultations
and insurance coverage services to Maricopa County departments, districts, and Trust members so
they can reduce or eliminate loss. The vision is to be recognized as a leader in Risk Management,
and relied upon for a County-wide risk management philosophy and culture. Risk Management’s
primary activities are:










Risk consulting
Insurance procurement above self-insured retention levels
Maricopa County Self-Insured Risk Trust Fund management and financing
Administration and monitoring of third party administrators adjusting
workers’ compensation and unemployment claims
Investigation and disposition of casualty and property claims and lawsuits
Safety training, reporting, and compliance
Loss control programs
Environmental investigation, remediation, and reporting
Contractual indemnification and insurance requirement language standards and review.

The Department is divided into four operating divisions: Claims, Safety, Environmental, and
Administration. Highlights for each division are included herein. The Department strives to
accomplish its mission with assistance and direction from the Maricopa County Board of
Supervisors, the Maricopa County Self-Insured Risk Trust Fund Board of Trustees, and the County
Manager. The Director of Risk Management reports to the County Manager.

I-1

Self-Insured Trust Fund
Arizona Revised Statute (ARS) § 11-981 authorizes the County to self-insure, or procure insurance
from any insurer authorized by the State of Arizona Department of Insurance, or both. Insurance
(defined in Title 20 ARS) includes, but is not limited to: auto liability, auto physical damage,
general liability, medical malpractice, property, workers’ compensation, professional liability,
environmental liability, environmental property damage and unemployment insurance.
Upon establishment of the self-insurance program, the County is required to designate a Risk Trust
Administrator (Director, Risk Management), and establish a trust. The Risk Trust is funded by an
allocation of funds from General Fund and Non-General Fund departments and Special Districts, or
such other funding techniques permitted by State statute and authorized by the Risk Trust’s Board
of Trustees.
A Board of Trustees assists Risk Management to coordinate the Risk Trust’s activities and affairs.
Trustees, United States citizens and residents of Maricopa County, are appointed by the Maricopa
County Board of Supervisors (BOS) and the County Manager. During Fiscal Year FY13-14, the
following individuals were members of the Board of Trustees:

FY13-14 Results

During the three year period of FY11-12 through FY13-14, the Risk Trust’s assets decreased
$14,286,966, or 39.11% from $50,811,109 to $36,524,053. During the same period, the Trust’s
liabilities decreased $63,862,968, or 95.72%, from $130,582,900 to $66,719,932. The deficit in
Risk Trust net assets is a result of a spend down of the Risk Trust fund in fiscal years when user
departments were only charged for administrative costs even though claims and insurance continued
to be paid by Risk Management on behalf of user departments.
Claim activity that occurred in FY13-14 includes a decrease in estimated reserves for General
Liability claims of $14M, primarily from three FY07-08 claims and six Group A claims from
FY09-10. Workers’ Compensation claims reserves increased by $4.3M due to increases in six
claims. Medical Malpractice claim reserves decreased by $2.7M; and Environmental Liability
claim reserves decreased by $1.7M, primarily from the closure of 50 claims from FY09-10.

I-2

Cost of Risk
Cost of Risk is a comparison of the Risk Management program and costs of claims and claims
related expenses to the County’s overall expenditures or budget in the fiscal year. The effectiveness
of a risk management program can be reflected in this comparison since the cost of a risk
management program includes paid claims (amounts paid in the fiscal year without regard to the
year the claim arose), insurance premiums, safety and loss control programs, and operational and
administrative expenses, against the total County's expenditures or budget. For FY12-13, the Cost
of Risk was 2.6%, and decreased in FY13-14 to 1.63%. Risk Management’s commitment is to
maintain this measure at or below 2%.

CLAIMS
DIVISION

Claims Division

CLAIMS DIVISION
The Risk Management Claims Division is staffed with four senior adjusters, one adjuster, and
three administrative employees. The Division is committed to reducing Maricopa County’s cost
of risk through prudent claim and litigation management arising from the County’s employee,
auto, property and liability exposures. The Division also manages the County’s unemployment
claims through a third-party claim administrator.
Claims and lawsuits are investigated, evaluated and then either denied or resolved via litigation
or settlement. Litigated matters are assigned to either in-house counsel within the County
Attorney’s Office or outside counsel pursuant to contract. Thereafter, the Division manages the
assigned attorneys to minimize expense and obtain expeditious and fair resolutions.
The Division also manages the Subsequent Remedial Measures Program, the purpose and intent
of which is to assist departments in (1) identifying the root cause(s) of events which have
precipitated a Notice of Claim and/or lawsuit against Maricopa County and its employees, agents
and volunteers, and (2) formulating a subsequent remedial measures plan designed to mitigate
future claims and/or lawsuits arising out of the same or substantially similar root cause(s).
The Division also manages the Roundtable Program for high exposure and other sensitive
claims. This program provides the Division, the defendant departments and employees, agents
and volunteers, and defense counsel with the formulation and critical review of litigation tactics,
strategies, and related evidentiary issues.
Fiscal Year 13-14 Summary
In Fiscal Year (FY) 13-14, the Division managed 1,485 new workers’ compensation, auto
liability, auto physical damage, general liability, environmental liability, environmental property
damage, professional liability, medical malpractice, and property claims, a decrease of 223
claims, which is a 13% decrease from FY12-13.

FY 13/14

In FY 13-14 the County brought in-house the administration of workers compensation claims.
We were able to realize savings of $341,055 in administration fees versus salaries/fringe,
reduced amounts paid on claims by $742,474 from the previous year and reduced the open claim
count by 49%.
The Division also provided the following services to County departments and districts:
•

Risk Management’s vendor conducts bill/invoice reviews and applies available discounts
when injured County employees utilize a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) (a medical
services network). In FY13-14, the County realized a net savings of $2,047,269, which
equates to a 47% savings from billed charges. In FY 12-13 we began calculating our savings
on net of duplicate billings. By excluding duplicate bills from the calculations it provides a
truer picture.

Safety Division

SAFETY
DIVISION

SAFETY DIVISION

The focus of the Risk Management Safety Division is collaborating with other departments County-wide to
innovatively develop safety programs to assist in meeting strategic goals. Risk mitigation, loss reduction and
compliance are achieved by interaction with departments utilizing a variety of proven safety strategies reducing
negative outcomes and increasing productivity. Our goal is to mitigate exposures thus minimizing preventable
injuries/accidents. Our road map to success is a four-step process:
1.
2.
3.
4.

Obtain management’s support of County safety policies.
Train employees in safe work practices and safety/hazard awareness and identification.
Identify potential risks and develop safer, less risky alternatives to accomplish the task or process.
Maintain an effective, comprehensive and compliant accident/incident control program.

In FY2014, the process of workers’ compensation data collection and reporting began being conducted by Risk
Management internally. Prior to FY2014, worker’s comp data collection was conducted by a Third Party
Administrator “Pinnacle Risk Management”. Reporting discrepancies were identified from the “TPA” and
along with the use of two different databases, it has made it impossible to trend data accurately. The one
measurement that remains verifiable is dollars spent. Total injury severity (costs) has decreased from
$2,920,900 in FY13 down to $2,535,543 in FY14.

*At the conclusion of FY2015, RiskMaster will have 2 years of verifiable data available to resume data
trending for “Annual Reporting”

III-1

Changing the focus of the Safety Departments “Collision Awareness” class to “Collision Avoidance” with an
emphasis on safe backing techniques, helped to decrease FY2014 preventable vehicle collision claims, (207
preventable vehicle collisions in FY2014 versus 235 preventable vehicle collisions in FY2013). Accordingly,
the Collision Incident Rate decreased from 9.2 in FY13 to 6.0 in FY14.

The Risk Management Safety Division offers a total solution for safety awareness and safety compliance
training. We will continue partnering with all County departments to reduce the injury incident rate and
collision incident rate utilizing the following Safety strategies:
Risk Management Safety Training
•

SafeStart: In 2014 the Risk Management Safety Divisions, qualified SafeStart
Instructors, completed the second phase of training for 307 County office
employees and establishing 2 SafeStart Steering Committees, one each from both
Flood Control and Maricopa County Department of Transportation (MCDOT).
MCDOT attributes their vehicle accident reduction (27 in 2013 down to 13 in
2014) to their involvement with SafeStart.

•

Road Builder: The Maricopa County/Gateway Community College Road Builder
Heavy Equipment Certification Program currently has 6 county employees
enrolled in the 3 year program and 15 county employees enrolled in the 1 year
program. Since the inception of this program, 11 years ago, 22 County employees
have graduated with 45% having been promoted to County Management
positions.
III-2

Maricopa County Vehicle & Equipment Use Program (VUP): The job of keeping hundreds
of County employees trained, qualified and authorized on over 40 types of equipment is a
difficult task. County Departments such as Maricopa County Department of Transportation
(MCDOT), Flood Control District, Waste Resources and Recycling Management and Maricopa
County Sheriff’s Office have joined together with the Safety Division to develop and implement
a Vehicle Use Permit (VUP) program to manage this training.
On-Site Safety Training Programs: Due to staffing issues, not all departments can send
employees to off-site training, thus the Safety Division provides training at employee worksites
focused on the needs of the department. This training can be task or program specific or targeted
to re-educate employees in safe procedures. Targeted training often addresses an increase in
collisions or near misses.
Examples of targeted training include:
•
•
•

Personal Protective Equipment--unique to more hazardous activities, such as fall
protection.
Heat Stress Awareness--for employees working outside during summer months.
Safe Lifting and Back Injury Prevention.

Examples of routine training offered at multiple locations to accommodate the scheduling needs
of departments include:
•
•
•
•
•

Defensive Driving
Hazard Communication
Bloodborne Pathogen Awareness
Fire Extinguisher Awareness and Emergency Evacuation
CPR and First Aid

Provisions for departments to provide their own training due to 24-hour operations are:
•
•
•

Train-the-Trainer programs for Animal Care and Control Department
Slips, Trips and Falls
Hazard Communication

Commercial Driver’s License (CDL): Several County employees are required to drive
commercial vehicles to perform their duties at the County. These employees require specialized
training and a CDL from Motor Vehicles to drive these vehicles. In order to minimize
department down time the Safety Division’s fleet safety consultant provides on-site programs.
These include:
•

Providing a three (3) day training program to prepare employees to take the written
examination required to obtain a CDL from the MVD.

III-3

•
•

Serving as a third party tester for MVD. The Fleet Safety Consultant provides
approved and recognized testing services as required by the State for employees, so
that they do not have to go back to MVD for the hands on testing.
Providing all CDL annual training to department’s requiring CDL drivers.

For FY2014, we conducted 6 classes for 25 new CDL applicants, 44 refresher classes for 245
current CDL County employees, 7 Drug & Alcohol classes for 132 CDL County employees and
conducted 21 individual State of Arizona CDL tests with a 100% pass completion.
Off-Site Safety Training: Requires an off-site location due to the type of training.
•

Welding Safety Training and Certification -- All County departments that have
cutting and welding activities require training to comply with OSHA and ANSI safety
requirements. Training and certification is administered by an outside contractor.

•

Collision Avoidance Driving Safety -- This course is two hours of classroom driver
safety and a one-hour field exercise. Employees operate vehicles through a course
designed to help them become more efficient at backing, parking lot maneuvering,
lane changes, and evasive maneuvers. The Safety Division also instructs various
other driver safety classes such as Utility Truck, Trailer Towing Safety and Defensive
Driving. For FY2014, we conducted 10 Collision Avoidance classes consisting of
100 County employees.

•

Defensive Driving Training – This course is required training in order to obtain a
Vehicle Use Permit (VUP) and is often a recommendation for drivers who have been
involved in a “Preventable” vehicle collision. For FY2014, we conducted 94 DDC
classes and trained 2,904 County employees. County employees log more than 26
million miles annually and the continued decline in the number of preventable vehicle
collisions is testament to the overall success of this training program.

•

Vehicle and Equipment Use Permit – This is based on policy A2310 and Risk
Management Safety acting as the County Manager’s Designee processes all employee
requests to operate vehicles and equipment. For FY2014, the Safety department
processed 4,080 VUP applications, an average of 340 per month.

•

CPR and First Aid - CPR and First Aid are a requirement for many positions in the
County. CPR is a skill that one never knows when they will need it, and will never
know what a difference it can make until it is used. First aid is the immediate care
given to an injured or suddenly ill person, consisting only of furnishing temporary
assistance until competent medical care, if needed, is obtained or until the chance for
recovery without medical care is assured. In FY2014, the Safety Division provided
14 CPR and First Aid classes and trained more than 338 employees.

Citizens Serving Citizens Safety Day: The 2014 CSC Safety day was a great success. There
were 16 Department/Divisions from all over the county, interacting with employees to expand
understanding of what each department does and how safety plays a role within their services.
III-4

Additional Safety Strategies: The Safety Division uses a wide variety of recognized safety
program techniques in addition to training to keep County employees safe. These include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Facilities and Field Inspections
Departmental Program Reviews
Departmental Policy and Procedure Development and Review
Safety Committees
Job Safety Analysis
Accident investigations with corrective actions designed to minimize reoccurrence of
accidents.
Job observations to identify unsafe conditions.

As Maricopa County continues developing safety management systems, it is necessary that each
level of management take a proactive role in safety improvement. Management commitment,
front-line supervision and accountability are the keys to sustain successful safety processes and
reduce unsafe work practices.

III-5

Environmental Division

ENVIRONMENTAL
DIVISION

ENVIRONMENTAL DIVISION
The Environmental Division of Risk Management conducts remedial investigations and takes
action to minimize County environmental liability as determined by law, regulation, statute,
and/or court order. The Division provides leadership in the area of pollution prevention and
environmental management, and has developed a proactive assessment and action process that
mitigates environmental liabilities, saving the County in the cost of remedial action and
regulatory penalties. Possible environmental liability costs of known sites have been reduced
from previous estimates of over $500 million for FY95-96, to approximately $7,339,886 for
FY13-14.
This fiscal year the Division:
•
•
•

•
•
•

•
•

•
•

Received a recovery of $5,323,249 from a lawsuit against the WR Grace Company
regarding costs involved with removal of asbestos containing building materials that were
installed in County building.
Prepared request for proposals, reviewed submittals and awarded County’s new
environmental contract to 47 different contractors in 12 different areas of service.
Continued to cooperate with Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) in
conducting site characterization of groundwater contamination at the Cave Creek
Landfill. In FY 2013-2014 a Draft Phase 1 Groundwater Modeling Report, a Phase 2
Groundwater Modeling Report, and a 2013-2014 Data Compilation Report were
submitted to ADEQ. Work was begun on pilot testing of a vapor extraction system –
including permit updates and system design.
Continued to participate with the Hassayampa Steering Committee in working towards
the remediation of the Hassayampa Superfund Site.
Prepared updated Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCCs) plans for 9
County facilities. Continued to review County facilities to ensure that required permits
are in place.
Completed in-house assessments and remedial oversight for industrial hygiene, indoor air
quality, microbial contamination, asbestos and lead paint projects. Over 272 projects
were opened, completed and closed in FY13-14. Since the in-house service began in
2006, it continues to represent a direct savings to the County by avoiding 3rd party
consultant fees in the conservative range of $150,000 - $200,000 annually.
Continued Hazard Communication Training to comply with OSHA’s Globally
Harmonized System (GHS) amendments. Training has included 68 classes including
classroom sessions and live webinars.
Conducted inspections of 107 County owned and maintained drywells.
Recommendations were turned over to Facilities Maintenance for required repairs and for
best practices repairs. These repairs help reduce regulatory liability and general liability
for the County. Several drywells were discovered that were not previously inventoried or
inspected.
Continued to assist the Medical Examiner’s Office in developing a program for the
annual disposal of jars containing human tissue and formalin (aqueous formaldehyde).
This year 10 drums of material were disposed.

The Division recognizes that environmental risks are capable of being managed through risk
control and prevention measures. These measures include separation of hazardous materials,
effective pollution prevention and loss control techniques, redundant controls and safety
mechanisms, double and triple containment of tanks and flow tubes, emergency response plans,
and effective training of employees. The Division will continue to seek to implement these
measures.

Administrative Division

ADMINISTRATIVE DIVISION
The Administrative Division is responsible for procuring the insurance policies above the County’s
self-insured retention, providing certificates of insurance to County departments, preparing the
annual user charges for services, preparing the annual budget and financial statements for the Risk
Trust, and providing administrative support to the other divisions within the department. Included
in this report is a comparison of the assets and liabilities of the Risk Trust over a three-year period,
the trend of the current insurance market, a budget summary, and the financial statements through
fiscal year ended June 30, 2014.

During the FY11-12 through FY13-14 period, the Risk Trust’s assets decreased $14,286,966, or
39.11%, from $50,811,109 to $36,524,053. During the same period, the Trust’s liabilities
decreased $63,862,968, or 95.64%, from $130,582,900 to $66,719,932. The deficit in Risk Trust
net assets is a result of a spend down of the Risk Trust fund in fiscal years when user departments
were only charged for administrative costs even though claims and insurance continued to be paid
by Risk Management on behalf of user departments.
The Risk Trust began billing user departments for the full costs of claims and insurance and
administrative costs in FY99-00. On an annual basis, the Risk Trust funding plan calculates the
total Risk Management’s expenses for the fiscal year, the next year’s claims and claims related
expenses and other factors. Beginning in fiscal year 2012, the Risk Trust began using a
combination of user charges and contingency funds. The County does not fund the Risk Trust for
all reserves; however, the reserves are part of the liability calculation.
Insurance Policies
Risk Management continually analyzes insurance market trends. During 2014, we saw evidence
the market was price firming for several lines of coverage. All of the lines of coverage had a slight
increase except for Worker’s Compensation. Now that we have brought all claims in-house for
handling, our reserves are set appropriately and several claims were closed. This allowed our Total
Reserves to drop substantially. We will be reviewing major exposures coming to Maricopa County
in the following fiscal year. With four major sporting events headed to Maricopa County, there will
be increased coverage needed. Risk Management works closely with our insurance broker to
aggressively pursue reasonable insurance coverage’s to protect the County.
