Knox County Commission appoints Ed Leisure as representative to county risk pool ahead of Jan. 3 deadline
Summary
The Knox County Commission unanimously appointed Ed Leisure as the county's representative to its insurance risk pool, citing a Jan. 3 deadline to name delegates; the board noted the pool meets monthly and represents each county on the statewide commissioners' board.
The Knox County Commission unanimously appointed Ed Leisure as the county's representative to the county insurance risk pool during a special meeting on Dec. 18, 2024. The chair said the commission had to act quickly because "we've been given a deadline of January 3 to appoint somebody."
The risk pool is the counties' insurance consortium; a commissioner present described the group as the statewide county commissioners' board that meets monthly to address issues across counties. The motion to appoint Leisure was moved and seconded and passed 3-0.
Commissioners said the appointment was accelerated solely to meet the Jan. 3 deadline and to ensure the county had representation at an upcoming meeting and a new-commissioner training scheduled for Jan. 8. No dissent or abstentions were recorded.
The commission did not provide additional details in the transcript about Leisure's role beyond this appointment or about any term length for the appointment. The record indicates the representative will attend monthly meetings of the board.
