Summary

The board approved renewal of a Markel Insurance policy for Crescent Hill at Hitchcock and authorized the chair to sign; members noted reduced premium tied to facility improvements and declined duplicate terrorism coverage.

The Pottawatomie County Board authorized the chairman to sign a renewal agreement with Markel Insurance for Crescent Hill at Hitchcock after a staff presentation and brief questions on coverage.

Jeff (identified in the meeting as director of conservation) and Jake (safety/risk coordinator) presented the renewal and a policy breakdown. Board members asked if the premium reduction reflected improvements at the facility; staff confirmed the savings resulted from facility improvements and risk management steps. The board declined optional duplicate certified acts of terrorism coverage after confirming existing coverage elsewhere.

Supervisor Wickman moved to authorize the chair to sign the renewal and Supervisor Jones seconded; the motion passed by voice vote.

Staff said the renewal structure is consistent with prior years and that the county attorney's office had previously reviewed similar policies; the board thanked the conservation staff for the work that reduced premium costs.
