Commission approves KWORK workers' compensation participation and accepts $222,889 invoice
Summary
The board approved joining the Kansas Workers' Risk Cooperative (KWORK), adopted the interlocal agreement and bylaws, and accepted an invoice in the amount of $222,889; commissioners discussed the pool structure and payment process during the motion.
Seward County commissioners approved resolution 2026‑03 establishing participation in the Kansas Workers' Risk Cooperative (KWORK) for workers' compensation coverage, adopted related bylaws and the interlocal cooperation agreement, and authorized the chair to sign the documents.
Staff explained KWORK is a risk pool rather than a traditional insurance company and that the packet included the resolution, notice, bylaws and certificate of coverage. Commissioners discussed payment process and asked whether a special check was required; staff said the invoice would be sent and processed through the county clerk's office without a separate special check.
At the meeting the board recorded an estimated premium figure in discussion as $2,230,889 (described as an estimate of premium earlier in the presentation) and later approved acceptance of an invoice in the amount of $222,889. The board moved to adopt the resolution, authorize the chair to sign the interlocal agreement/bylaws, and accept the invoice; the motion passed unanimously.
The board did not take additional action on financing at the meeting beyond accepting the paperwork and the invoice; staff noted purchase order and invoicing procedures would follow.
