At a Dec. 18, 2024 special meeting, the Knox County Commission voted unanimously to appoint Ed Leasure as the countys representative to the county risk pool.
The appointment was proposed to meet a Jan. 3 deadline. An unidentified commissioner (Speaker 1) moved to add the item to the agenda, saying the county had to make the appointment before the deadline. Unidentified Commissioner (Speaker 2) moved to appoint Ed Leasure, and the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote recorded as "3 in favor and unopposed."
Commissioners described the risk pool as the county insurance consortium that provides coverage shared among participating counties. Speaker 2 said the MCCA risk pool and the MCCA board meet monthly and that there will be a new-commissioner training session at the MCCA annual meeting on Jan. 8, which the commission cited as a reason to finalize the appointment promptly.
The commission did not record any dissenting votes. The transcript does not include statements from Ed Leasure and does not specify whether he attended the meeting. Next steps recorded in the meeting were limited to the appointment itself; no additional follow-up tasks or reports were specified in the transcript.
