About Us
|
KCAMP was formed under the sponsorship of the Kansas Association of Counties and began operation January 1, 1991. Regulated by the Kansas Insurance Department, KCAMP was formed to provide a viable alternative to commercial insurance because in the late 1980's and early 1990's insurance for municipalities was difficult to obtain and extremely expensive. KCAMP is not unique. There are over 430 public entity pools in the United States to which 85% of all public entities belong. That means in the U.S., most schools, cities, public transit systems, special districts, townships and counties belong to pools. Over time pools have proven to be the preferred alternative to the private insurance market.
KCAMP is a member-owned, member-funded self-insured property and liability pool. KCAMP is not an insurance company. Members pay contributions to the pool. These contributions are used to pay claims, provide risk management services and education to the members, and pay costs associated with the administration of the pool. Members elect a Board of Trustees from their peers to oversee KCAMP. Professional staff handle the day to day functions, including claims administration. We have only one purpose which is to provide to our members the best property, liability and crime coverage and risk management services available.
KCAMP's financial strength and stability is a leader in Kansas for governmental pool programs. We subscribe to sound, conservative business principles and practices. The Board of Trustees has established that the program's member fund balance, or net assets, be maintained at a level equal to or above acceptable insurance and pooling industry standards. A strong net asset position allows KCAMP members to benefit from our ability to negotiate terms and conditions with our various partners that benefit all KCAMP members.
KCAMP is currently composed of 111 Kansas municipalities, including 77 of the 105 Kansas Counties.
