Commissioners discuss protocol after health‑department employee’s crash; employee said not at fault
Summary
Commissioners were told a county health‑department employee was in a non‑fault traffic crash that damaged a county vehicle. The board directed the employee to coordinate with the clerk’s office on repairs and insurance; no policy change was adopted.
A county health‑department employee was involved in a car crash last week that damaged a county vehicle, commissioners were told during Oct. 20 business. The employee was not at fault, according to the meeting discussion, and the third party’s insurance indicated it would pay for repairs.
The health‑department staff member asked whether the county requires vehicles to be taken to a specific repair shop. Commissioners and staff said the employee should contact the clerk’s office and Danielle in the clerk’s office to coordinate repairs and insurance handling; one commissioner said she would address the claim when she returned to the office. The transcript records that the clerk’s office would manage the process but did not state a firm county policy requiring a specific collision shop.
No vote or formal directive changing county policy on vehicle repairs was recorded in the meeting. Commissioners said they had no preference on repair location and would follow up through the clerk’s office to ensure the vehicle is fixed and insurance processed.
