MR #11256 – BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – EMPLOYEE INDEMNIFICATION POLICY
The resolution would authorize revision of the Employee Indemnification Policy as proposed by the
Board’s Claims’ Review Committee and would amend the title to “Defense and Indemnification Policy” to
accurately reflect the issues covered. The policy has not been updated since 1986 and as a result of
recent litigation, it is necessary to clarify the procedures used to invoke the criminal provisions of the
policy. The policy will be distributed to all elected officials, officers and current and new employees at the
time of hiring.
Ms. Cunningham explained that several recent lawsuits had identified a need to update this policy as it
relates to the procedure that employees should follow in order for the County to pay for or reimburse for
criminal defense.
Dwyer moved approval of the attached suggested Report. Supported by Bosnic.
