Subcommittee seeks clarity on who must hold liability insurance in data‑center ordinance
Summary
Committee debated where proofs of liability insurance should be filed and whether county commissioners should approve amounts; members also expanded indemnification language to include developers and tasked staff with wordsmithing.
Grant County subcommittee members spent substantial time clarifying the draft's liability and indemnification provisions, focusing on where proof of insurance will be filed and who will have authority to require higher limits.
A committee member observed that the draft "really just says filed with the county," and asked whether that means the APC, the commissioners or another office. The group agreed the documentation should be accepted by or routed through the county commissioners in most cases and that language in the draft should be changed from the generic term "county" to "commissioners" where appropriate. The committee also agreed to include the developer (as well as applicant, owner and operator) in indemnification and liability lines and asked staff (Todd) to refine the precise wording. "It really just says filed with the county," a committee member said during the exchange; another member added that commissioners should be able to require a greater amount depending on project scale and risk.
