Selectboard discusses equipment damage claim and rental insurance responsibilities
Summary
Members debated an equipment damage claim after a rented machine reportedly hit something; they noted renters are added to the town's insurance for the rental period and that the renter’s insurer could file a claim if needed.
During the meeting, members reviewed a claim that a rented machine had damaged a component (reported as a broken housing) and discussed how rental insurance and town liability are handled.
One member said the town requires renters to be added to the town’s insurance policy for the week they have rented equipment; others described the common practice of renters carrying their own coverage and filing claims through their insurer. The board discussed whether to file a town insurance claim depending on the damage assessment and indicated they would follow up once the machine is inspected and the extent of damage is confirmed.
