It is the second year in a row that Signal Hill has won a Risk Management Award from the Authority. Last year, the City won the award in the category of “Agencies with Public Safety for the Workers’ Compensation Program.”
“The Risk Management Awards highlight dedicated efforts and achievements in risk management, recognizing Authority members that have demonstrated the best overall performance in the Liability Program and the Workers’ Compensation Program,” states a press release from the City. “To select the winners, Authority staff evaluated various factors that reflect an organization’s risk-management efforts, including the cost of claims and their progress towards completing action plan items.”
Signal Hill City Council Member Lori Woods and Director of Finance Scott Williams accepted the award on behalf of the City at the JPIA’s board of directors meeting on July 18 at the Authority’s La Palma campus.
“The Authority’s Risk Management Award is an important recognition of accomplishment for our members,” said Jonathan Shull, chief executive officer of the California JPIA. “Not only does it recognize the risk-management efforts of our winners, the award also serves to highlight the importance the California JPIA places on how good governance and effective management can benefit all Authority members.”
