Commissioners approve Leavitt Insurance as local agent with 10% commission
Summary
Commissioners agreed to retain Leavitt Insurance as the county’s local insurance agent with a 10% commission rate and noted the premium is based on the county’s claims history.
County commissioners agreed to retain Leavitt Insurance as the county’s local agent for insurance matters and accepted a 10% commission agreement.
The move was discussed as part of the contracts and agreements section of the agenda, where commissioners said Mako submitted insurance paperwork and Leavitt proposed a commission agreement lower than many other counties. Commissioners noted the premium is based on the county’s claims history.
A commissioner said, “Leavitt offered a very reasonable commission agreement and, lower than a lot of other counties. And so we did agree to that, which is 10%.” The commission then moved to proceed with the arrangement; an affirmative voice vote followed.
There was no change to the county’s premium structure itself during the discussion, and commissioners said the 10% is the commission rate to the local agent rather than a change in premium calculation.
No ordinance, statute, or contract number was cited during the discussion. The matter was recorded as approved for implementation; staff were not recorded as providing a detailed timetable for executing the agent appointment at this meeting.
