Our partnership with Polco has been a part of CAJPA’s long, ongoing efforts to encourage tort reform through the State Legislature. CAJPA’s Legislative Action Day attendees met with legislators and staff in the Capitol. We can assist members with connecting at the local level. Calls, emails, and in-district meetings are the engines that move legislators. Members who would like assistance connecting with their legislator, or who have questions, are encouraged to contact CAJPA’s Policy Assistant, Brett Moore, at bmoore@cajpa.org.

CAJPA’s top priority is always to our members; tort reform will provide funding relief for all public entities and restore balance in the insurance market. Recent years, changes in public opinion, and landmark reports have set the stage for a time of change in the Golden State. 

We’re thrilled to share that CAJPA President Marinda Griese, PI, ARM-P has been honored with AGRiP’s Award for Excellence in Service at the 2026 AGRiP Governance Conference in Nashville, TN! 

This prestigious award recognizes Marinda’s measurable contributions to the public entity pooling community and her service-driven leadership that strengthens pooling practice and governance. In her role leading CAJPA, Marinda has championed proactive strategic frameworks, data-informed decision-making, and collaborative solutions to today’s liability challenges — all while advancing education and professional development for pooling professionals statewide and beyond.

Please join us in congratulating Marinda on this well-deserved honor!

New finance course

FINANCIAL REPORTING PRACTICES

Every pool has processes and practices to ensure adequate and transparent financial reporting. Annual audited financial statements are an important foundation of pool financial reporting practices – and also provide useful context to better understand pool activities and operations.

In Pooling Academy’s new two-module course, you will learn why financial reporting and regulations differ by pool. You’ll also explore common elements in audited financial statements and the important information you can take from them.

This course is appropriate for anyone looking to better understand pool financial reporting practices and audited financial statements, no matter your role. 

Additional finance courses currently available.

INTERNAL CONTROLS & DATA MANAGEMENT

Internal controls are the mechanisms, policies and procedures used to ensure financial and accounting information integrity. They also aid a pool in promoting transparency, accountability and fraud prevention.

In this course, you will explore the reasons why internal controls are vital to pooling, including important considerations for capturing and managing financial data.

OPERATING BUDGETS

The members and governing body of any public entity risk pool depend on pool management to develop an accurate budget that adequately funds all its operations and supports rate stability.

In this two-module course, you will review the basic components of a pool budget and common sources of revenue for pools, common pool expenditures, and variables that a pool may encounter during the budgeting process.

Members of AGRiP, CAJPA, and NLC-RISC receive special pricing.

 Further discounts are available with group purchase.

LEARN MORE!

Robin served as the Chair of the CAJPA Litigation, Insurance, and Tort Liability Committee and the Tort Liability Section of the Legislative Committee for many years. He also founded the CAJPA Legal Affairs Committee. He was a beloved colleague and friend to many in the JPA/insurance community. He started his insurance and risk management career in the late 1970s with American International Underwriters after completing his MBA in International Management at Thunderbird Graduate School of International Management in Arizona. 

In 1982, he joined Marsh & McLennan where he was first exposed to public sector pooling clients when JPAs were beginning to form. Early in his career, Robin earned his CPCU credential and then a J.D. from Golden Gate University. In the mid-1980s he went on to earn his Master of Law in Tax, just to make sure he was completely educated in the captive insurance field he was then practicing. Robin always looked to dominate technical perfection in his work; this is one of the many reasons he loved working with public sector self-insurance pooling. 

After a few years of gaining experience with private sector captives, Robin joined Bickmore in 1991 as a Pool Manager. His career path led him to work with Pools at other firms including Sedgwick/James and Driver Alliant, returning to Bickmore before finally putting his Law Degree to full use in 2011 as a practicing attorney and Risk Management Consultant. In retirement, Robin stayed active with CAJPA (including five years in Accreditation Management) and consulted with a Nevada Rural Hospital Pool. 

The central focus of Robin’s career was mastering all aspects of Pool Management for both public and private self-insurance groups so one last ARM certification was needed. His background and training allowed him the unique ability to tackle all aspects of his clients’ needs. When most of his colleagues, clients, and business partners think back about their involvement with Robin Johnson these common words come immediately to mind: Technical, Thoughtful, Thorough, Kind, Calm, and Concise. These are his hallmark values. 

But as many of you know, Robin was not just a practitioner of insurance and pooling. In the 1970s, Robin crossed the country on his BMW motorcycle, stopping along the way to work as a welder and learn what he could from the American people he met in small towns. 

When riding seemed too dangerous, Robin put some space between himself and the ground by taking to the sky and truly soaring in his new glider. The learning curve was high, with the loss of lift sometimes landing him in fields and even barns. 

To stay closer to sea level, Robin moved to the sport of ocean kayaking, and not just navigating river inlets. Robin liked to kayak into the ocean and surf the kayak to the beach to camp for the night before continuing along the coastline. But thirty years ago, these adventures were not exciting enough to keep Robin motivated; in the early 1990s, Robin learned to roll a kayak so he could run Class IV whitewater rapids. Although he found river kayaking to be the challenge he loved, it’s hard to carry a week’s worth of supplies (and white wine) in your river kayak, forcing him to buy yet another couple of boats and move into whitewater rafting. Many of his CAJPA colleagues have joined him on day trips to local rivers. And Robin typically spent at least 10 nights a year in some Idaho or Oregon wilderness. Because one week isn’t long enough to enjoy the outdoors, Robin has individually rowed the Grand Canyon three times - - each a 21-day wilderness trip.

As he aged, in his spare time around Folsom, he picked up motorcycle riding again with road trips through the Sierras, he mountain-biked the foothills, and he frequently tandem bicycled with a visually impaired friend on local bike trails in Sacramento. 

Forever in search of learning new things, Robin also took up guitar a few years ago and mastered this instrument well enough to play with friends at a local coffee shop in the evenings.

Many might say that Robin lived many different lives, but the thread between them was always consistent: with whatever challenges he faced daily(at work or in the world of adventure) Robin achieved the technical skills needed to read the wind, the waves, or his clients’ problems, and he attacked them with the same precision and convictions. He had an adventurous spirit and lived life to the fullest. He was loved by many of us, including his wife Linda, daughter Elizabeth, and grandson Colin whom he held in his arms shortly after his birth 7 months ago. He will be missed by everyone.

A Celebration of Life is planned for Robin on October 28th beginning at 11:30 a.m. at Camp Lotus Camp Lotus in the Gold Country along the South Fork of the American River. Please contact either Jeanette Workman (jeanette.workman@sedgwick.com) or Mike Simmons (offwork2021@outlook.com). 

Donations to Friends of the River can be made in memory of Robin online  https://www.friendsoftheriver.org/make-a-donation-2/ or at the following address:  3336 Bradshaw Road, Suite 335, Sacramento, CA  95827.

The Legislative Committee is currently looking to fill a vacancy on the Joint Powers Authorities (JPA) Subcommittee. The JPA Subcommittee focuses on legislation that impacts local government governance and bills that may challenge our members ability to be efficient, independent, effective public agencies in service to members.  We encourage interested parties with knowledge in JPA workings and who represent other types of risk sharing pools to consider applying for this opening but will consider all applicates.

If you feel passionate about issues that affect CAJPA’s members and have interest in joining the Legislative Committee, please provide a short statement of interest letter and CV to CAJPA’s Legislative Assistant Brett Moore at bmoore@cajpa.org by Friday, June 23, 2023. The Legislative Committee will be reviewing submissions.  If you need additional information, please reach out to CAJPA staff.

The California Association of Joint Powers Authorities (CAJPA) invites you to submit a potential session for our 2023 Annual Conference. Our aim is to include sessions that span topics that will be beneficial for all levels of risk management professionals.

SUBMIT A SESSION

Submission Guidelines
Each submission MUST have a session title, session description, three learning outcomes and an identified speaker. CAJPA’s goal is to continue to provide members with a high level of session content by having comprehensive proposals for review by the Professional Development Committee.

Deadline for submissions has been extended to Tuesday, January 17, 2023.

Warmest wishes for a wonderful holiday season and a happy new year filled with good health, happiness and spectacular success.

The committee guides the efforts of the Legislative Advocate and assists in the development of the Legislative Action Day. The committee is comprised of a team of volunteers dedicated to putting in the time to review legislative bills assigned to their subcommittee and are committed to being the voice of California’s risk sharing pools.

The Legislative Committee is currently looking to fill one vacancy on the Workers’ Compensation Subcommittee (WC). The WC Subcommittee is looking for representation from individuals with strong pooling and California workers’ compensation knowledge. We encourage interested members to consider applying for this opening.

If you feel passionate about issues that affect CAJPA’s members and have interest in joining the Legislative Committee, please provide a short statement of interest along with your resume/qualifications to CAJPA’s Deputy Executive Director Carmen Berry at cberry@cajpa.org. The Legislative Committee will be reviewing submissions and making the recommendation to the board. If you need additional information, please reach out to CAJPA staff. The submission deadline is July 8, 2022.

To address the issue, in 2018 the CAJPA Board of Directors started the conversation and approved a plan that led to the creation of the attached report and findings of the state of the liability market for CA public agencies. Evidence and data that was obtained from multiple sources indicates that California public sector tort liability costs are on the rise and accelerating. Some insurance and reinsurance carriers are abandoning the California public sector altogether, or at minimum, increasing retentions or carving out certain coverage lines while delivering sharp premium increases.

The impact to the California public sector has been particularly devastating.  Due to the lack of tort caps, specialist plaintiff attorneys and a change in jury profiles, awards and settlement values are increasing at alarming rates. The values of claims, coupled with the contracting insurance marketplace, is leading to an unsustainable financial state for California public entities.

CAJPA’s General Liability Data Analysis Project is a compilation of claims data from approximately 65% of CA public entities, including counties, cities, schools and special districts. The analysis identifies specific loss drivers (displaying trends in types of claims, in claims values and by type of entity) quantified impact and how we might seek opportunities to create change.

Overall, the study documents 300%- 400% increases in the average value of a claim, a pattern that is seen across all entity types over a 10 year period:

• Average County claim has increased from $100,000 to $290,000
• Average Municipal claim has increased from $120,000 to $400,000
  
• Average K-12 claim has increased from $240,000 to $510,000

Additionally, data collected from all the JPA participants indicate total program costs (JPA SIR + insurance + assessments) experienced a cumulative increase of 159% during that same period. 

The project received generous financial support from many of CAJPA’s members.  Special thanks to who helped to fund the project as well as those who provided valuable data for analysis.  This truly was a collaborative effort between CAJPA and our members.  

CAJPA’s is currently reviewing possible next steps to address the issues raised in the report.  We will keep our members updated on how the association proceeds in the future.  We welcome any feedback from our members on the project and its results.

Pooling Academy is looking for experienced pooling professionals to volunteer as subject-matter experts in the development of upcoming courses. Volunteer time is estimated at four to eight hours per course. For more information or to volunteer, contact Carmen Berry (cberry@cajpa.org).

Sharing your expertise ensures that people working for and governing pools have the knowledge and insight they need. Especially sought after are people who have familiarity with pooling practices in different jurisdictions and all major lines of coverage. Five course modules are under active development and could benefit from expert input:

• Capital adequacy from the perspective of the governing body’s role and decision-making
  
• Investment considerations a pool’s governing body must understand
  
• Internal financial controls and financial data management important for a finance professional to know
  
• Important rules and approaches for pool financial regulatory compliance
  
• Key concepts for those responsible for developing and managing a pool’s operating budget

To assist the California Association of Joint Powers Authorities (CAJPA) members with budgetary planning, the California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) has graciously shared an estimated assessment factor for the 2023 year that will be adjusted and billed in late November 2022 and due by the end of December 2022. This year the early estimate is for increases in the 15-20 percent range. This early estimate is preliminary, will continue to be refined and is intended to assist members with budgetary planning.

Representatives from CAJPA participated in the annual DIR planning brief with DIR Director Katie S. Hagen, Chief Deputy Director Deanna Ping and Chief Financial Officer Josh Iverson. DIR shared that cost drivers are spread over each of the six funds in the assessment calculation and noted a portion of the expected increase is attributed to a gradual reduction of the Department’s current high number of vacancies. While a proposed double-digit increase is hardly welcome news, it is a consolation that filling these positions will help the Department deliver their mission more effectively to injured workers and employers, including objectives like fraud prevention and improved support services.

The Department also noted additional staff would help to address systemic needs associated with the Subsequent Injury Benefit Trust Fund (SIBTF), which has seen substantial cost increases in the last few years. DIR also expressed optimism that upcoming system upgrades and automation may help to improve system efficiency and reduce future costs. 

Please note that each agency's assessment is calculated based on several elements, including total indemnity payments. This increase only applies to the assessment factors that come from DIR and the California Department of Insurance. Your agency's workers’ compensation costs will affect the amount and percentage change of your final assessment.

CAJPA will update members on future assessment figures when they become available later this year. 

Pooling Academy — the only online learning center designed for public entity pooling professionals — is now live.

Content now available includes:

• Eight courses providing a comprehensive review of the key operational and governance areas of pooling. Known as Pooling Basics, the courses in this learning path are best suited for anyone new to pooling, governing body members and those looking to expand their knowledge in pooling functions.  
• A hot topics course about business continuity planning and the importance of developing clear strategies for continued operations well in advance of any disruptive event. 

This content is only the beginning. New courses will be added with more in-depth training in the core pooling functions such as underwriting, claims, finance, risk management and member relations. To address the current trends specific to pooling, hot topic courses will be developed and released on an ongoing basis. In just a few years, Pooling Academy will include nearly 100 courses in all core pooling functions.

CAJPA members receive special discount pricing. Further discounts for group purchasing are also available. For more information, contact Pooling Academy Director Michelle Bechamps.

The committee guides the efforts of the Legislative Advocate and assists in the development of the Legislative Action Day. The committee is comprised of a team volunteers dedicated to putting in the time to review legislative bills assigned to their subcommittee and are committed to being the voice of California’s risk sharing pools. 

The Legislative Committee is currently looking to fill one vacancy on the Tort Litigation Subcommittee and two on the Loss Control Sub-Committee. The Legislative Committee currently has strong representation from school/education pools and is looking for representation from other pool types. We encourage interested parties with knowledge in TL and LC areas and who represent other types of risk sharing pools to consider applying for the three openings.
