Miscellaneous Resolution # 84071
BY: Alexander C. Perinoff, County Commissioner - District #21
IN RE: LIABILITY INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR PUBLIC OFFICIALS
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, the County of Oakland currently contracts for public
officials liability insurance with the Midland Insurance Company; and
WHEREAS, questions have been raised concerning the definition of
"insured" and the extent of coverage provided in this insurance contract; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners is desirous of obtaining the
most cost beneficial coverage for county public officials with the widest range
of coverage; and
WHEREAS, extended coverage would avoid the necessity of employing
outside counsel to handle suits against county officials at an added expense
to the taxpayers; and
WHEREAS, the Finance Committee is the appropriate committee to study
the need for additional liability coverage for the County.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Finance Committee shall
(1) determine the extent of coverage currently held; (2) investigate the need
for extended liability coverage; (3) take appropriate action to obtain additional
liability coverage, if necessary.
Mr. Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
