STAFF REPORT
WORKERS' COMPENSATION AUDIT & SURVEY
An audit of the Risk Management Workers' Compensation program
for the City of San Bernardino should be done on a regular
annual basis1 however, this has not been accomplished for
approximately 2 years.
Further, a survey of the procedures and recommendations for
such procedures is desired by the recently hired Director of
Risk Management. Various companies were contacted and
interviewed for such a survey and audit and it is felt that
Omega Claims Services offered the most expertise and exper-
ience available to the City.
We recommend that the Mayor and Common Council approve the
Agreement with Omega Claims Service for an audit and survey.
