As requested at the last Commission Meeting, listed below <br />are the recommended coverages which respond to the captioned <br />insurance protection. The program is designed to protect a Public <br />Official who is elected or appointed to a legally constituted <br />Public Entity. The coverage is similar to Directors' and Officers' <br />Coverage of large corporations and provides direct coverage to the <br />Public Official or reimbursement to the Public Entity if it is <br />permitted by law to indemnify an official. The policy responds to <br />Legal Liability arising out of wrongful acts occurring while the <br />'Public Official is in office. The policy is written in the name <br />of the County. <br />Limit of Liability $1,000,000. <br />Annual Premium 6,264. <br />Deductibles: <br />Per Person 2,500. <br />Maximum per Loss 7;500. <br />The above•quotation includes removing the "Employee Hiring <br />Exclusion" which seemed to be of importance to the Commission. I <br />strongly*recortimend your consideration of this coverage and shall <br />await your direction before proceeding further. The premium quoted <br />is based on an application submitted in January of this year and <br />issuance of a policy would require updated information. <br />COMMISSIONER LOY ASKED WHETHER THIS WOULD COVER VOLUNTEERS, <br />SUCH AS THE ZONING BOARD, AND MR.
