Planning committee buys insurance to cover volunteer Code Enforcement Officer at $167 per month
Summary
The Porter Planning and Zoning Committee voted 5-0 to purchase insurance covering the volunteer Code Enforcement Officer after the Town’s insurer offered coverage under a special addition clause for $167.00 per month.
The Porter Planning and Zoning Committee voted 5-0 on Feb. 5 to purchase insurance coverage for the Town’s volunteer Code Enforcement Officer.
Chairman Steve Dickey noted that "the Code Enforcement Officer is not covered under the Town’s insurance, since this a volunteer position." Secretary Kendra Moore reported the town’s insurer "said they could provide insurance coverage for the Code Enforcement Officer under a special addition clause for $167.00 per month." Ryan Moore moved to purchase the coverage; Norma Meyer seconded, and the motion carried by a recorded unanimous vote (Ryan Moore, Steve Dickey, Norma Meyer, Kevin Walker and Lucas Beaty voted yes).
Why it matters: The action extends formal insurance protection to a volunteer official. The minutes do not specify who will pay the monthly premium, whether the policy will be billed to the town or to the volunteer, or the precise coverage limits and effective date.
What’s next: The minutes record the vote to purchase coverage; the record does not include the insurer name, effective date, policy limits, or billing arrangements.
