part of risk management.
A study was done about three years ago regarding the
anticipated insurance needs for the county. What the COG
wishes to do is to use this study and update it and provide
bidding on the county's needs.
He said they would provide follow-up in the form of
evaluation of claims and injuries and pinpointing areas of
high risk.
Mr. Armour also suggested a possible combining of
the county's insurance with the Iredell County Schools,
which would spread the risk over a larger area and drop
the premium cost.
A written proposal was submitted by the Centralina
Council of Governments in the amount of $2600, which is
based on the number of hours worked. If less hours were
worked in determining the county's insurance needs and
preparing the snecificiations for bidding„ a lesser amount
would be charged.
Following Mr. Armour's presentation, Mr. Johnny Clark,
Webb Insurance Agency, was present to discuss the County's
