Warren County supervisors returned from an executive session and were told no formal action had been taken; Supervisor Marlino then asked whether the county owed a $50,000 deductible on the Rockwell settlement. Supervisor Marlino asked, "Do we pay a $50,000 deductible for the Rockwell settlement?" The County Attorney replied, "No. It's it's not an it's not a claim under our insurance policy... It was a claim under our insurance policy, but it was tendered to Bass Hatfield, so it got closed without any further action on that," adding that it was "a beautiful way to handle those fights."
The matter was discussed as part of the meeting continuation of the May 30 personnel and administration agenda; the County Attorney's comments indicate the county did not have to pay the $50,000 deductible because the claim was handled by outside counsel or claimant representatives (identified in the transcript as Bass Hatfield) and closed without further county involvement. The board also noted that the executive session produced no formal action.
After that clarification, a motion to adjourn was made and the meeting was recessed; the supervisors voted by voice, with members saying "Aye," and the meeting was adjourned.
