MIRMA

In a telephone interview with Matthew Brodersen, the executive director of MIRMA, Mr. Brodersen explained how the MIRMA system works.  When asked if all 69 members equally share in the aviation insurance expense, he replied “yes that is correct.”   He was also asked, does that mean that each of the  MIRMA members share of the aviation insurance expense is around $800.  “Yes that is correct.”   Mr. Broderson was also asked if each member’s cost to insure the 29 airports is around $800, then would it be correct that each members cost to insure its own airport would be around $28?  Mr. Brodersen’s response was “Yes that would be correct.”

The airport coverage does not cover storm damage to the physical property itself, but Mr. Broderson also stated that that portion of the insurance cost should be distributed according to payroll. 

Mr. Brodersen also stated that the workmen’s comp portion of the MIRMA plan was about 40%.

That is straight from MIRMA.  So what we have here is the city charging the airport $8000 for $28 worth of insurance expense.
