Coosa County approves $78,193 liability coverage contribution for FY26; Christmas Eve closure motion fails
Summary
The commission approved renewal of liability coverage through the ACCA self-insurance fund — the declarations list an annual contribution of $78,193.21 — and voted down a motion to close county offices the entire day on Christmas Eve.
Coosa County commissioners approved renewal of liability coverage for fiscal year 2026 through the Association of County Commissions of Alabama Liability Self-Insurance Fund and reviewed the fund's declaration schedule.
The declarations in the coverage packet list endorsement costs and an annual contribution amount of $78,193.21. The coverage document referenced several endorsements and specific items (for example, a $1,100 cost line for public transportation vehicles) and instructs participants to consult the Liability Coverage Document for full definitions and coverage terms.
During the same agenda item, Commissioner Bertha K. McElrath moved to close county offices the entire day on Christmas Eve rather than a half-day; the motion failed. The minutes record that the motion to change the holiday closure policy did not carry on Dec. 9.
The renewal vote and the failed holiday-closure motion were recorded as separate actions during the meeting; the commission later approved a separate courthouse closure for Jan. 2, 2026 in an added-agenda item.
