Summary
Board members approved an insurance renewal quote for 2026; staff said coverage remains the same while premiums are up about 11% and recommended considering an RFP next year to seek better rates.
The Northampton County General Purpose Authority approved an insurance renewal quote for 2026 after staff said coverage would remain the same but premiums had risen. A staff presenter and other members noted an overall market increase and estimated the Authority’s renewal reflected roughly an 11% rise in premium costs.
During discussion, members asked whether floor plans had been included with the renewal materials; staff replied none were provided. Board members also discussed when the Authority last issued an RFP for insurance and suggested reissuing an RFP if premiums continue to rise. A motion to approve the renewal quote was made, seconded and carried on a voice vote.
The meeting transcript includes packet figures for prior-year and 2026 totals but several of those lines are corrupted in the recording and could not be confirmed; staff or the clerk should be consulted to verify the exact premium and total-dollar figures.
