Summary
The Carbon County Board of Commissioners approved a $725,194 2026–27 insurance renewal with the Pennsylvania Counties Risk Pool (PCORP) on June 4, 2026, a $115,415 increase; the board also ratified a PCORP loss-prevention grant application requesting $7,068.59 for signs, AED pads and a badge reader.
The Carbon County Board of Commissioners on June 4 approved the county’s 2026–2027 insurance renewal with the Pennsylvania Counties Risk Pool (PCORP) for a total cost of $725,194.00, an increase of $115,415 from the prior period. The motion to approve the renewal passed with each commissioner voting yes.
The county presented a breakdown showing insurance costs rose by $415,129 and loss fund contributions increased by $322,984, offset by a $12,919 loss‑control credit. The board approved the payment option structured at 40%/30%/30 for the renewal term beginning June 1, 2026 and ending May 31, 2027.
Separately, the commissioners ratified submission of a PCORP loss‑prevention grant application seeking up to $25,000 and specifically requested $7,068.59 to pay for caution signs ($78.95), replacement AED pads ($432.12) and a badge reader for the sheriff’s department ($6,557.52). The badge‑reader amount matches the safety grant contribution noted later in the meeting for the sheriff’s office equipment purchase.
The motions to approve the insurance renewal and to ratify the grant application were each moved and seconded on the agenda and carried by a unanimous board poll. The county listed the renewal and grant items on Agenda #26‑403 and Agenda #26‑404, respectively.
