County authorizes $5 million pollution liability coverage for fuel and salt sites

St. Joseph County Board of Commissioners · August 13, 2026

Summary

St. Joseph County approved staff recommendation to bind a $5 million pollution liability policy for a three-year term covering fuel tanks and salt storage locations, with staff favoring coverage for all facilities.

Bree Roberts, director of physical assets, asked the Board to bind pollution liability coverage with the Horton Group and Marsh McLennan Agency, recommending a $5 million limit and a three-year policy term to provide continuous coverage across county sites.

Roberts said two proposal options were available: one covering nine identified fuel-and-salt locations and another covering all locations in the county's statement of values. "Given that there wasn't a very large delta between the two, I find it most advantageous to go with all locations just so we're covered," she said. Commissioners voted to approve staff's recommendation on the broader coverage option during the meeting.
