California JPIA Welcomes New Member, City of Hermosa Beach
The City of Hermosa Beach, a community of almost 20,000 residents located in Los Angeles County, has elected to participate in the California JPIA’s Excess Liability and Workers’ Compensation Programs and the Property Insurance Program as of July 1, 2023.
Hermosa Beach offers a full range of municipal services, including public safety, community development (planning and zoning), recreation, parks, public works, parking and animal control, and general administration. The city employs its police department and contracts fire and emergency medical services with the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
“The California JPIA is excited to have the City of Hermosa Beach as a member. Through the application process, it was evident city management and staff understand the importance of risk management and the benefit they will derive from the Authority’s coverage and services,” said California JPIA Senior Risk Manager Toni Consolo. “We look forward to a long and collaborative partnership.”
The city has a total area of 1.43 square miles. It has one pier, two libraries and museums, one skate park, 20 parks and playgrounds, and two community centers. It offers senior programs, recreation classes and activities, and special events, including festivals and charitable activities.
“The leadership and staff of the City of Hermosa Beach have a well-informed approach to risk management. Their values align with the Authority’s risk management culture,” said California JPIA Chief Executive Officer Alex Smith. “I’m confident this partnership will benefit our members and the Hermosa Beach community, providing dependable and cost-effective coverage and valuable training resources.”
Welcome, City of Hermosa Beach, to the California JPIA!
