Commission weighs insurance claim and repairs after door damage at county facility
Summary
County leaders discussed a door hit and broken chain on a county building, a purchase order roughly $1,000 and the $2,000 insurance deductible. Staff and commissioners debated whether to submit an insurance claim or have vendors attempt repairs first; a motion to take no immediate action was discussed but the transcript contains no final vote.
Speaker 1 described damage to a county building — a broken chain and a door hit by a vehicle — and reported the county had placed a small purchase order and was considering whether to submit a claim. "They put a PO on, I can't remember how much it was, a thousand dollars or something like that. But they're wanting to send this into the insurance since the $2,000 deductible has already come out," Speaker 1 said.
Commission discussion covered options: letting the vendor attempt repairs, submitting an insurance claim, and concerns that repeated claims could raise premiums. Staff asked for direction on whether to take immediate action. One commissioner proposed taking no action while the vendor inspects and provides a price; the transcript records a motion to take no action but does not include a recorded vote or final disposition.
The meeting record shows staff will follow up with the vendor and confirm whether the company can repair the door or if the county should file an insurance claim; commissioners indicated a preference to await vendor pricing before committing to insurance submission.
