Board to advertise for shelter volunteers after checking liability coverage
Summary
Members endorsed advertising for volunteers to help manage shelter duties but asked staff to confirm liability coverage and insurance costs before public recruitment.
Board members said recruiting volunteers could provide short-term relief for shelter operations while the county clarifies staffing and management decisions. One member recommended posting volunteer requests on the shelter-related Facebook page and the county website and placing an advertisement in the local paper to attract potential managers and helpers.
Members also discussed liability coverage and a volunteer-insurance example cited in the meeting (about $800) and directed staff to consult the county’s insurance carrier to determine required coverage before advertising. "We reach out to our insurance carrier and see what they want us to have," a staff member said, urging due diligence prior to public recruitment.
