Parish board authorizes $65,000–$75,000 for team sports insurance
Summary
Terrebonne Parish committees approved purchasing team sports insurance for 2026 for parish sports programs and amended the agenda estimate from $60,000–$70,000 to $65,000–$75,000 after Risk Management recommended a higher backup estimate.
The council accepted the administration and Risk Management department's recommendation to purchase team sports insurance for 2026, covering youth and adult basketball, baseball, softball, football, volleyball, tee ball and swim teams.
The agenda listed an estimated annual cost of $60,000 to $70,000, but Risk Management told the committee the backup materials accounted for potentially more teams and could raise the estimate to approximately $75,000. Risk management summarized the rationale as "it depends on how many teams we actually have," explaining the estimate uses prior-year charges as a baseline.
Councilmember Danny Babin moved to amend the motion on the floor to change the funding range to $65,000–$75,000; Mr. Harding seconded the amendment. The committee recorded nine yeas and approved the amended funding range.
The motion directs administration to proceed with the insurance purchase within the amended funding estimate; no contract award vendor was named in the recorded motion.
