Council approves resolution to continue volunteer workers' compensation coverage through annual policy updates
Summary
Tigard City Council unanimously approved a consent-agenda resolution extending workers' compensation coverage for city volunteers; staff confirmed the coverage will be updated annually and effective July 1, 2025.
The Tigard City Council unanimously adopted a consent-agenda resolution extending workers' compensation coverage for city volunteers, with coverage to begin July 1, 2025, and to continue until superseded.
Councilor Robbins moved to approve the consent agenda and praised staff for providing detailed alternatives and recommendations. Councilor Hill asked whether the policy’s Exhibit A — which documents the annual insurance policy period — would be updated each year; risk-management staff (voice manager Curran) confirmed the city updates insurance annually and that the volunteer classification can vary by activity. Councilor Hill seconded the motion and the council approved it unanimously.
Staff said the policy period runs from July 1 to June 30 and that staff can provide annual updates or continue to return to council with Exhibit A each year, per council preference.
No additional public discussion or amendments were recorded during the consent vote.
