Commission approves renewal of airport liability insurance with Gallagher, declines add-ons

The Daggett County Commission approved renewal of airport liability insurance for the county’s airports with Gallagher, authorizing the county insurance coordinator to sign the policy electronically.

Carrie, the county staff member managing insurance paperwork, presented the renewal paperwork and noted the premium figures on the form. Commissioners discussed whether to include optional coverages: TRIA (Terrorism Risk Insurance Act coverage), war-extended coverage, CORE360, and the ERISC hub. Commissioners and staff noted they had generally declined these add-ons in the past; staff recommended maintaining airport liability coverage for the county’s two airports (Manila and Dutch John) and to delay any decision on additional coverages until further information is obtained.

Commissioners approved the renewal for the airport liability policy with Gallagher for the premium amount stated in the renewal paperwork and directed staff to check “no” on the optional add-ons (TRIA, war-extended coverage, CORE360, ERISC hub). Carrie was instructed to sign the policy electronically so coverage, which staff said goes into effect the day after the meeting, would be in place.

The record shows commissioners voted “Aye” on the motion to approve the renewal; the commission then authorized Carrie to check the boxes as discussed and sign the documents.

Ending: County insurance staff will sign the Gallagher policy electronically and may pursue additional quotes or applications for optional services (e.g., Taylor Flats coverage) if the county decides to expand coverage later.
