Committee approves indemnity and payment of Corning legal bill in SWAT-related claim
Summary
The committee approved covering the city of Corning's legal bill tied to a SWAT-team wrongful-death notice of claim and discussed outstanding intermunicipal agreements for the SWAT team.
County staff told the committee that a notice of claim had been filed related to a SWAT-team incident in the town of Cameron and that the county had agreed internally to indemnify and cover the city's legal costs. The committee approved paying the city's legal bill, which staff reported as $3,004.65.
Members asked clarifying questions about the nature of the case, confirmed the Corning police were part of the county SWAT team without an agreement at the time, and urged staff to follow up on outstanding intermunicipal agreements that municipalities had not returned. The committee approved a motion to pay the invoice by voice vote.
